Technorati

Technorati boasts it is the "leading monitor of the world of weblogs", maybe to scare its competitors google and yahoo. It is a real-time search engine of blogs with a category directory to further refine your search to your interests. Technorati also has features such as photo, video sharing and searching. What makes it stand out a little bit more is its ranking of blogs. But then again, this isn't anywhere new. Digg are much more renown for its ranking of sites and blogs. 

In comparison to google:- does this mean google and all its features? igoogle? or google's blog search or the fact google own's youtube and blogspot? I'm guessing its google's search feature for blogs. If so, google's advanced search is very good when you're looking specifically for something. You can search for keywords in the blog, title, url, author and also give a posting date range to search between. Technorati is just a procrastination. You can't even sort your search results by its favourites or ranking. So what is the point of having it?! Granted, google does have rankings. But if you feel that by popularity always means a good blog, then go to digg.com
