Technorati is basically a blog tracker that tracks blogs through their links and tags, and is just a complation of almost 110 million blogs, for all different subjects. It promotes itself as a social sytem also, because it allows its members to upload videos, photos, and quizzes as well. Constant uploads allow most of the information on the site to be accurate every moment of everyday, so you are getting a well-rounded update whenever you log on. The bloggers on Technorati make links to other sites and sources constantly, allowing you to have access to all this information in one source. Technorati uses these links to organize and convey the information, comments and photos from to your personal account. You aren’t constantly clicking on links and typing in new web addresses, because you can have them organized on Technorati. Part of the ‘World Live Web’ Technorati has on average 175, 000 blog updates alone everyday, and 18 posts per second. So it’s basically a huge chat room that allows you to see and access information that you might not normally find.
It’s not as popular as it was at it’s launch because of issues with it’s former CEO and Technorati founder, Dave Sifry, and apparent technical problems within the site. Issues with spam, experimental features, and its lack of subscribers, which breaks down the whole system. Despire this, it still has many loyal users who check it daily and use it as their main source of information.
