Technorati - for bloggers

So if you're wondering what Technorati is all about and how come I have a favorite button on my blog, it basically a social bookmarking tool for bloggers. It's a way to keep in the loop with bloggers and lets face it another way to get your page ranking up. I haven't quite figured it all out yet, but basically the more authorities (people that link your blog on their blog) the more popular you become. I think! It also enables you see who is linking up to you, whereas before you could not. Which is good if you want to see the kind of audience you are attracting, if any - he he! Yes well I don't have much of an audience, but that's ok.

It has a pretty extensive directory of blogs and of course the shit hot blogs are shown on the front page, you know the blogs that attract millions of people per day.

Now you have to update your post with what they call "ping", which I guess just takes your new post on your blogs and lets people out there know it's updated. I can't quite understand why it's not done automatically, but hey rome wasn't built in a day, was it?

Now to be honest I think technorati, for such a large site still has a lot of bugs to iron out. The navigation is just terrible in my opinion, to get to the pinging section can be quite complicated. The FAQ are not the best either and I couldn't really get a brief simple synopsis to explain what technorati actually is all about. It just talks about what blogs are about -dir hello, I think most people know what blogs are about, especially if there going to more in depth site like technorati. The forum area is pretty bad as well, there's no order or sections to it.There's also problems with updating images. So I don't know they better get on their feet and fix stuff or people will lose interest. Still you might want to check it out and get involved in the next big social bookmarking site (if you even call it that),
