Unless there's some genuine and sustainable technology advantage that Technorati has relative to, say, Google, I don't see how they can be anything other than a marginal player in the long term.

If it isn't an order of magnitude better, there's little point.

David Sifry has some more interesting comments that will be published in two weeks in Blogger & Podcaster magazine as part of our industry leaders roundtable he participated in. You can get it by subscribing for free at www.bloggerandpodcaster.com or just email me (lgenkin@larstan.net) and I'd be happy to send you a copy of the story.

There are uses for Technorati, but truth seeking is not one.

Technorati seems to be the clear winner - there is a good post on the Compete.com blog comparing Technorati to Google Blog Search and it's no contest... Technorati runs away with it - http://blog.compete.com/2007/04/05/google-techn...
