I am an investor in Technorati<\/a> and I am sorry to see that Dave Sifry left the day to day management of the company.\u00a0 I am also sorry to see that now “authority” as a concept has been taken out from the home page of Technorati and relegated to www.s.technorati.com<\/a> a hack that few know.\u00a0 Now if I was advising Technorati this is what I would say.
\n<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0 Competing with Google is tough, very tough.\u00a0 But Technorati has a formula that works and that is PINGING vs Google\u00b4s crawl.\u00a0 Pinging is faster than crawling.\u00a0 Pinging relies on people\u00b4s desire to disseminate what they write be it blogs or news.\u00a0 Crawling is like spying on people and showing what they wrote whether they like it or not.\u00a0\u00a0 Technorati should stick to being the best search engine of PINGED news.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0 Authority was a great concept.\u00a0 Bring it back!<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0 You have the PINGS from newspapers and news organizations.\u00a0 Use them!\u00a0 If Digg<\/a> does not differentiate news sources as to whether they are corporate or blogged, why should you?\u00a0 Pls include news organizations in your results!<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0 Pinging is also great to follow a story.\u00a0 Technorati must find a graphical way to show unfolding stories.\u00a0 Search results are pictures.\u00a0 There must be an elegant way to show, search….the movie.<\/p>\n

So as I said I am an investor in Technorati.\u00a0 But then Google is an investor in Fon<\/a> and I am very happy for their support. \u00a0 To me this is not about whether I like Google more than Technorati.\u00a0 Is about a world of search that should at least have a few flavors and Technorati was close to giving me what I wanted, and they moved away from it.\u00a0 Hope they come around.<\/p>\n
