Technorati

Backtracking a bit here, I come to Technorati. I’ve been vaguely familiar with Technorati for some time, with a number of real techie friends having used it for years. But it has never really appealed to me. The site has not historically been very user friendly, and I haven’t seen any great advantage in its services. When using it for searching, the tag search seems to be the most useful. I found all sorts of relevant articles that way. Searching for blog posts was hit and miss, and the directory was far too open-ended (fine if you’re just surfing, less helpful if you’re looking for very specific topics or information). I went ahead and claimed my blog, but I doubt I’ll use Technorati much in the future.
