Technorati (& now I geddit)
That was just a headline, I always understood how miserably self-indulgent / egotastical (yes I said egotAstical, and meant it) Technorati is. If your not a blogger, San Fran-ite or a 2.0′er I can sum up Technorati in one phrase; “what did he say?”. Its like over-hearing all the conversations online about you at once. You can type in a website address, and it’ll give you a list of pages that link to it. I guess its intended for blogs and for the ultra-cool / web savvy’s who need to know who’s commenting on thier posts, when and where.
Not impressed? Either was I – as a user / member of Technorati for a good 2 years only tonight have I noticed any incoming(!) from technorati… in fact tonight is the first time I’ve ever done a Technorati search for Callum Alden, and found worth-while data. I suppose last week’s maintanance did some good; Technorati sees me!
The whole blogging bubble popped for me a long time ago, I hate all the pretense that goes a long with it, even K2 makes me feel like I may be appearing to be one of the in-crowd. I happen to like the design / coding, but there’s a lot of fanboys out there :(
On the train today some posh twat with a painful Gordonstoun/merican accent was joking (sorry, I couldn’t help but listen she sat right next to me) about how terrible it’d be if Edward were to read her diary, maybe it was just because she was American… but she went on to read a passage out loud, until the whole carriage was bored of her. I could have punched her. It made me think of blogging. *i should develop this point… remind me*
this is an old post - the formatting may be jumbled
it may simply make no sense... i was young!
Here is some more traffic from Technorati… Me.
Technorati is good not only for bloggers, but to find the stuff that is not reported on in the MSM, but picked up by bloggers.
Just my thoughts…
hello, you. The problem with a LOT of bloggers is they all play follow the leader. Next Apple product to come out, go see for yourself (I may have been guilty of this in the past, we have to stop urselves).
OR, Kottke posts something about 1970’s dishwashers and people scramble to scan their funny manuals of thier 1970’s dushwasher, or something else as ridiculous. Oh to be famous- i’d shoot myself. “follow the leader”.
i had a quick peek at your blog, enjoyed this post… yeah that is true :D
On the MSM… you mean TV. Probably the nightly Round-Up or something. Go grab a broadsheet, or get one online: http://www.guardian.co.uk/ you can’t escape the big stories unless you want to.
i wish there was a list of really good original blogs somewhere. I wish I could write one. We’re just not original enough, i suppose. i dunno…
technorati… bah, as much as we should all shun Google; they had the idea first -it was never followed through. Google could buy Technorati one day?
Nice look
Nice
