Technorati Blog Cards - Successful Blog -

Another Feature

Technorati has rolled out another new feature. It’s sort of like a baseball card for your blog. This is how it looks for Successful Blog.

To see yours, go to Blog Finder, type in your URL and click search. You’ll see your card and the latests posts indexed for your blog. It’s nice to be able to see whether our latest posts have made it into the index.

It’s a great feature, Mr. Sifry, but could we have a word over here?

I have great respect for all that you do and your team does for the blogosphere, especially now with the 40 million blog load that you carry.

Unfortunately, I’m having trouble getting excited about new features when my link countstill is inconsistent and my archives aren’t in chronological order — I estimate I’ve had real-time updates for less than 15% of the last seven months. I think I’m probably being generous there. By the time one lost link was found it was out of date — the six month drop off. The current count has been stuck for at least three weeks.

I’m tired of writing updates to techsupport and Janice. They’re too busy. So am I.

I want to be your biggest cheerleader and have been — to the point of changing folks’ minds to the positive about Technorati.

I can’t be a cheerleader right now, David. It just wouldn’t be authentic.

I can be patient. I know 40 million blogs is a lot.

I’ll still be here.
