The Website That Goes PING

Technorati.
In a nutshell, its a blog search engine. However it also indexes RSS feeds from blogs, as well as tracks outbound and inbound activity around a blog post. It ranks blogs and gives them a number called Authority -- which is determined by the number of unique blogs linked to yours in the past 180 days.
I have an awesome authority of 0, and a rank of 4,814,527.


I don't like Technorati.
Aside from the fact that it wasn't even WORKING in the class we were supposed to sign up for it, its difficult to navigate, and looks like someone puked a packet of peppermint gum all over their monitor.

How is it different from Google? Google is decent, easy to use, doesn't look like garbage, oh and Technorati uses tags and stuff for searching.

So yeah.. that was a very uninteresting week -_-
coming up next.. iweb spectacularity!
