technorati

oh technorati...what a confusing little time ive had trying to work you out...this has to be one of the worst explained websites there is, or maybe because i do everything on myspace now i am slightly retarded when it comes to any other site!oh dear-time to get away from myspace!
Aside from that little rant i think ive got it sorted.
So aside from being a "search engine for blogs" i think it provides an online community for like minds. My house mate was asking me what the point was for having a search engine for blogs, I told him that a lot of the sites that i use are actually blogs, for music lovers ect...blogs are not just people having a rant about their lives which he informed me that was good cause as if we care about other peoples lives- but thats the thing, he might not but someone else does. Aside from that technorati can bring people to your blog, by making them aware of it.
Technorati is a search engine for blogs, videos and photos, thats how it differs from google. Instead of getting a bunch of sponsored sites or information sites, it is blogs about what you have searched for. It also has the ability to save or "favorite" each blog you like so you can see the most recent post on each and keep up with them.
At this point in time my ranking is 846,558. Ranking is derived from the number of sources referencing my blog.
My authority is 6, this is determined by the number of unique links to my blog made within the last 180 days. so im pretty low down on the scale...i guess i need to add more interestingness to my blog!
Out of the top 100 blogs on technorati, i was bored looking at them, i found most of them soooo plain, but then most of them at the top were about news so i guess they have to be serious. they were easy to read, and navigate though which is good. Check out my screen shots and thoughts on the top 100 here.
