I’ve been blogging for more then a year and a half now and still learn things daily on how to be a better writer, blogger, journalist, marketeer, and overall Internet user. In the time I’ve been writing articles for blogs and reading them, one name continues to come up, Technorati. After all this time I’m finally starting to see what all the fuss is about and why it is important.
Technorati is the recognized authority on what’s happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. We search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media.”
For me, Technorati is sort of like a social bookmark site, only not. They track trends, keep tabs on who writes what and what blogs link to other blogs. Why do you the reader care? Because I source a lot of material for her from other blogs, likewise, other blogs use Randomn3ss for their own content ideas. By using Technorati as a central place to store this data it allows the sharing of information to flow much more freely. I’ve finally registered at Technorati and plan to start using it on a daily basis to both bookmark sites I like and see how my blogs are doing. Please comment this article if you run a blog you would like me to check out and add to my favorites on Technorati. Likewise, I’ve included the nice little image on the right sidebar for you to favorite Randomn3ss.
