technorati.com revamped

Posted on | July 24, 2006 | No Comments

just in time for its third birthday, RSS-search-engine and -syndication-site Technorati received a major overhaul today (details are found at the Technorati-blog). despite the new design seems lighter (though a bit too colourful) and more aimed towards the live-web-newbie, the frontpage still fails to communicate Technorati’s unique selling point over conventional search engines in clear words – non-bloggers won’t see why they should use Technorati for search. on the upside, there is a new ‘discover’-section, an improved ‘popular’-section (including the infamous a-list of bloggers) and better management of your favorite blogs (read customization). what’s still missing to make Technorati the single-most important tool for many bloggers, is an integrated feed-reader. behind the curtains, the Technorati-developers also improved the index-algorithms in terms of ‘live-ness’ and accuracy (more on TechCrunch).
