That is an interesting perspective. I had never used Technorati for the tagging and generating traffic, and maybe I was missing a good source. The new system is obviously new, and still needs some fine tuning. I am curious to see how it evolves over the next few months.

For example, over a week has passed since my comment. My technorati page has not changed in over 12 days.

Now, that may not seem like much, but under their old regime, my technorati page could change on a whim. I could update thumbshots, look at tags, and I really got into following their advice on how to do things–and it was fabulous. I loved how integrating my tags with their tags brought me good readers. Not a lot of traffic, just people with genuine interest.

All of that is now gone. I see no evidence it even works anymore. I can’t update, delete, or do anything. And I’ve not seen a single hit from technorati in this time.

That is a real shame, I know how hard it is to build technorati authority. The interesting part is that they may be ranking everyone in various categories, but they make it hard to find too.

All for naught. They may be going in the right direction for them but I’m not about to get burned like this a second time.
