Jason Kottke wrote So Long, Technorati, about what he thoughts about it and later, why he chose to leave it out of his blog. I didn’t use much of Technorati but I do use the automated ping to tell it if I’ve updated my blog. Of course sometimes I also let the narcissistic-side of me to take control and use it to check who has linked back to me (Oh look, there are more people linking back to me, yippee!). One thing I agree with Kottke is that Technorati takes way too long time to track all those blog, including my little one, they claimed to (supposedly) track. Sometimes I know that someone has put a link to my post before Technorati does. And if so, what do I need Technorati for? Or maybe I just have to be more patient and learn all the features it has and start using it, whatever it might be.

UPDATE: It seems that Molly wrote a related article. Not that she complaining or something. She somehow got a tour inside of Technorati. So I guess you all can take a look at her article to answer my article above. And if you’re still unhappy with that even if the source come from inside Technorati, well you are welcome to write about it on your own page then. Is this article been Technorati-ed?
