How in the Hell Does Technorati Work?
Social media is supposed to be stupidly easy right? Right? Tell that to the brain trust over at Technoratic. I scanned over the website, ran over some explanation page, searched on Google and read two posts about what it supposedly does for you, and came away with jackshit.
Why can’t I just get my free nofollow link with maybe 4 visitors back to my blog if my lead paragraph is good enough? Is that too much to ask for?
Oh they have a section that asks if you want to write for them. Talks nicely about what they want but then there’s no resolution. No email us here or enter your pig in this contest – nothing like that.
The only reoccurring theme I kept seeing was they are trying to have some “authority” system. Sounds like someone is trying to copy Google. Also looks like somebody is going to fall flat on their face.
Technorati is pretty irrelevant nowadays anyway but just thought I’d dust off their URL and check in for my quarterly decade check up – you know for appearances sake.
If I know social media – and I don’t – Technorati has lost their ass in recent years as their flavor of the month (butterscotch) just ain’t that popular anymore. Guess I’ll hold tight to Tweeter country for the time being.
Oh and by the way, if you want to infringe on my copyright, have at it. It’s not like I can stop you so why even leave you with a smudge of guilt on your conscious? If you want to link back that would be nice, but we both know you’re not going to.
