Thanks for the comment, Zoli. I didn't really mean to single you out
as someone picking on Technorati. I linked to you because you were one
of the people I remembered having repeated issues with it -- but I
probably could have worded that a little better.

Matt, thanks for linking to my post - I need to calrify though, that I am not going out of my way to bash Technorati.

In fact, in the article you pointed to and several others I recognized them as Innovators in the blogosphere: what they do is cool, just fails to work at scale. So they have operational problems, can't keep up with the explosive growth of the blogosphere, hence the call for a "white knight" who would acquire them and put the robust infrastructure in place. The investment, if it goes towards infrastructure could have the same effect, so to get back to your title, yes, money can make Technorati a LOT better.

Don't believe everything you read on TechCrunch. Its quality is really heading south. :(

Matt, I think what everyone is mising is the exculsive Eldeman deal that they have. The strategy was formulated just 2 months ago !!

FWIW, I cut some info here
