I was about to add to my “favorites” a certain blogpost at technorati but I wasn’t able to navigate onto it. I’m sad I lost all of my favorite posts that I still need to re-read.

Thanks for posting by the way.

I have never really liked Technorati. Because of the recent changes it’s even harder to navigate it. But thanks for the post and explanations.

Unhappy loosing my reactions. I used those to keep track of who was linking and made many positive relationships from that. Now, I have no idea who’s linking to me. I am happy with my new ranking though, having jumped from 4 to 118. That hopefully is due to my frequency of posting and valuable content. I’ve been moving up every day since the change, even though they keep indexing more and more blogs. Hopefully quality over quantity wins. Bring back the reactions! Screw bandwidth!

Perhaps this is for the best. I no longer use Technorati and if not because of this post, I won’t know that Technorati is changing so much.

Certainly links are nice, but a lot is about community – “social media” remember

I personally don’t understand why social/news/networking websites get upset with webmasters/bloggers about leaving good quality content and backlink…..Isn’t that what all these sites are about….getting recognized by google….If it weren’t for google….many of these so-called awesome websites wouldn’t be around today…..I’m still learning and love reading this blog….

If someone visits from Technorati your challenge is to get them to subscribe, because they might visit your site 30+ times in the next year, and may even link to you sending 10s, or even 100s of visitors. Network effects are important, and a visit from Technorati has more potential than a normal search visit, or referred visitor.

I also have a Technorati account. But it didnt bring me much traffic. So, I just dropped it. Anyway, thanks for explaining new Technorati changes… Let me try it again.

I believe with their backward progress. Loyal users would eventually run out of reason to revisit them. I mean, to remove unfixed features, to lessen the accessibility of users and to minimize the fun they get from the site, is typically popularity suicide.
