I'm with you on this one. It's dog slow, its search function usually returns an error page, and the hyperlinks showing one blog connected to another are non-intuitive, to put it politely.
Seems like something that someone started up when blogs first got big, and then never really followed through on. I used to see Technorati rankings reported as though they were gospel; now, I almost never see them used reported.
Brendan, Their stats/rankings are very unreliable for most run-of-the-mill blogs (like mine). And it was quite a joke when their stat claiming Japan had the most blogs (and widely quoted in the media) was exposed as BS (most of the Japanese blogs they included were spam blogs).
I guess it's gonna be a kickass gadget for teenagers that photograph each other penuses and publish them on youtube.

ReplyDeleteHeh, that's exactly what Technorati is!

My 8th grade students are going to love it.
