First, the new design was very important to do (and overall has gotten very good reviews), as the previous was difficult for both readers and advertisers to grasp. That’s not always what the passionate and professional blogger wants to hear, but the realities are that many people want to just read blogs and that advertisers pay the bills. This presents Technorati with a huge challenge: how do we satisfy the professional and hardcore blogger – our critically important minority – as well as the readers and advertisers, who are the overwhelming majority of our audience. After completing my first two months on the job, we’re still working on this challenge, and we clearly have a lot more to do. That said, this is really good feedback. I can’t promise we can address all of it, but we love hearing the constructive input and are trying to incorporate much of it while balancing our other constituents.</p>Richard JalichandraMon, 10 Dec 2007 19:47:15 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27640<p>I can't keep up with Technorati's changes either -- it's maddening, really, the way they apparently change things overnight. Couldn't they just post some sort of advance notification on their site? Let's storm the Bastille and demand our rights!</p>Walnut Creek KangoWed, 05 Dec 2007 21:43:51 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27365<p>I never used Technorati and now looked at it to see what value it might have and...blah! Techmeme is great at picking stories that I like and might have missed. I use Google Alerts to tell me who is linking to me, totally simple. I think this whole filtering technology is overdone. If something is worth reading some combination of Techmeme or a Blogger that I follow will highlight it (in other words, good old fashioned editorial). Of course by not using the latest set of filters I might be 24 hours behind the time...oh darn! </p>bernard lunnWed, 05 Dec 2007 14:57:14 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27163<p>Seeing who is linking to you is definitely useful - but that doesn't feel like it was what Technorati was set up to do - weren't they there to allow you to see what was happening in real time in the blog world? I used to use Technorati for this a few years back but have stopped now because Google has caught up and my RSS feeds keeps me in touch with the majority of areas I used to search for. Now I only use it to see who links back to me - it regularly irritates me that my wordpress trackbacks never matches technorati's though!</p>Riaz KananiWed, 05 Dec 2007 11:43:51 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27160<p>lol - I am the same - how different is the data between them? Is it significant?</p>Riaz KananiWed, 05 Dec 2007 11:38:52 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27145<p>Yes, it shows me who is linking to me. It's very valuable to bloggers. Not sure it has value to blog reader or anyone else though.</p><p>Fred</p>fredwilsonWed, 05 Dec 2007 11:25:01 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27121<p>The question is...</p><p>What problem does Technorati solve for us?</p><p>Why do I need it? Why does it make my job/life easier?</p><p>I can't answer those questions right now, can you?</p>Jim KukralWed, 05 Dec 2007 11:01:24 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27100<p>Technorati has never had a very good handle on how users do and would use its service.</p>pwbWed, 05 Dec 2007 10:44:28 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27091<p>Technorati's latest bug for about a month has been indexing my blog comments instead of my blog.</p><p>Instead of having my blog posts show up nicely, it's showing my comment feed.</p><p><a href="http://technorati.com/blogs/internetducttape.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://technorati.com/blogs/internetducttape.com">http://technorati.com/blogs...</a></p><p>Technorati is fundamentally broken in they scrape your blog homepage for posts instead of using an RSS feed. So depending on what template you use you can really screw them up.</p>engtechWed, 05 Dec 2007 10:37:33 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27041<p>i use all three; feedburner, google, and sitemeter. none give the exact same result, all three have different ways of showing the data, and i like to triangulate.</p><p>call me anal about this stuff and you are right.</p><p>fred</p>fredwilsonWed, 05 Dec 2007 09:40:19 -0000http://avc.com/2007/12/my-love-hate-re/#comment-27001<p>why do you use sitemeter as well as google analytics?
