briefly on the technorati update
For those of you who use
Technorati and/or read the
Technorati blog, you'll note that they
rolled out a major update to the interface.
Looking at the bullet list of updates, or just the site itself, one will see a
lot of IA/GUI changes. Having spent all of about a minute looking at the new site, and my first impression being "huh, that's a lot of color," clearly I'm not prepared to say anything else about it. These are the most important things to me:
* Technorati's rolled out a major update [...] to our back-end systems.
* We've made some major speed and accuracy improvements in core search.
* Link counting is a lot more accurate and timely.
I don't give a flip about color and IA if the underlying numbers aren't right. I still hold to my statement that of all the blog searchy things out there, Technorati's has always been (for me) the most consistent and accurate. Maybe I'll say more when I actually use the new stuff.
