Technorati

Welcome to a wikizine about Technorati

Technorati is currently tracking 108.3 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media.

Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. We search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media.”

But it all started with blogs. A blog, or weblog, is a regularly updated journal published on the web. Some blogs are intended for a small audience; others vie for readership with national newspapers. Blogs are influential, personal, or both, and they reflect as many topics and opinions as there are people writing them.

Blogs are powerful because they allow millions of people to easily publish and share their ideas, and millions more to read and respond. They engage the writer and reader in an open conversation, and are shifting the Internet paradigm as we know it.

On the World Live Web, bloggers frequently link to and comment on other blogs, creating the type of immediate connection one would have in a conversation. Technorati tracks these links, and thus the relative relevance of blogs, photos, videos etc. We rapidly index tens of thousands of updates every hour, and so we monitor these live communities and the conversations they foster.

The World Live Web is incredibly active, and according to Technorati data, there are over 175,000 new blogs (that’s just blogs) every day. Bloggers update their blogs regularly to the tune of over 1.6 million posts per day, or over 18 updates a second.

Technorati. Who's saying what. Right now.

Supercharge Your Technorati Fanbase - Super Technorati Favorites Exchange

Written by colorfulmars on

From: www.colorfulmars.com

What is it and how does it work?

Inspired by Maki, this exchange will, hopefully, increase your “favorites” count in your Technorati profile.

By participating in this exchange, you make a commitment to add everyone who has added you to their Technorati favorites.

Why Participate?

Meet new people — learn new things — pump up your ego. The ultimate goal is of course, achieving placement in the top 100 list — gaining your blog increased exposure.

Simple Steps:

First, if you haven’t done so already, you have to sign up for a Technorati account.

# 1 CLICK TO ADD COLORFULMARS TO YOUR TECHNORATI FAVORITES

# 2 Add everyone in the comments section below to your Technorati favorites.

# 3 Leave a comment with your Technorati ID and a Fav Link

# 4 As a result, we (Commentators and I) will then reciprocate by adding you to our Technorati favorites.

# Extra Reminds:

I strongly recommend a script called “Technorati Favorite Your Fans” — it is FREE, it supposedly connects to Technorati, finds everyone who has fav’d you and automatically favorites them back. Certainly just ignore the reminds if you enjoy doing this stuff manually — I used to check out blogs as I chug along.
