- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I still think Technorati beats Google in Blog Search, but the site is pretty much in the dumps, highly unorganized. They had such a potential in such a ripe field and they let it go, shame!
- byronm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I used to use the site daily, i think its been over a year since i've bothered with it. Part of the problem with Technorati is it never left its niche, there is only so much bloggers supporting bloggers that you can do. Did they really have much "Reader" traffic? 99% of the people i knew who used it simply used it to find out what to blog next.

- simonowens, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I agree that they're having some kind of time stamp problem. For my blog, they're acting like blogs that linked to me over a year ago have linked to me just recently. They can't seem to get a hold on when things were actually posted, which is a rather new problem. They didn't face this predicament before. How is it that they're getting worse instead of better?
That being said, I love using Technorati to see how many people are linking to certain news items, I'm fascinated on how news spreads across the blogosphere. And plus their ranking system allows for a lot of ego searches to constantly find out how your blog ranks against others.
Another thing, a lot of times I have to manually ping them just for them to index my blog updates, which is kinda lame. - martin77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've never quite figure out the point of Technorati.
But maybe thats just me. - cayennenator, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Thanks! Very Doubtful.
- phlux, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That perfectly matches the position they had when they made Linuxcare.
- geoffspear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not only is Technorati slow recently, it's also increasingly bug-ridden. It seems completely unable to figure out when blog entries were actually posted in some cases. For example, in my Blogger blog I posted a new entry and the next day that entry, when found in searches, as reported as being posted "16 days ago". Oddly enough, it knew the correct date my blog itself was last updated, so it could clearly read the timestamp correctly. It looks to me like they've got both scalability problems and generally bad code.
