Technorati Quest

Add to Technorati FavoritesOk, I may be slowest person in the world, but after six months of active blogging I still do not understand/see what is so great about Technorati? I noticed that my blog is hanging in lower 90,000 when it comes to incoming links from other blogs. I am not sure what good the button you see in this post is, but I am just taking on an idea from a prominent blogger and will begin to reciprocate in this regard. So it is simple, you add my blog to your Technorati favorites I will add yours. What will this do? I have no idea. But when I notice something I will let every one know. If you know what is the benefit of being ” please enlighten me.

  • I only know technorati as blog search. Update us if there is a point in getting a favorited status.

    I haven't even claimed but 1 or two blogs there so favoriting is over my head.
  • Mark, I have one claimed as well there was an option to claim my feed from co.comments but technorati seems to completely ignore co.comments as a real blog.
  • co.comments is for girls vlad, commentful.com is the way to go!
  • Well some of the reasoning I included in my analysis of the Google BlogSearch patent.

    Rather than linking directly to it, and because lots of other blogs have been talking about it recently, I will just link through to a Google Blogsearch result for Google Blogsearch

    Google Blogsearch

    I nofollowed the link to Google

    Sometimes people use a space between blog and search - I don't rank for both

    There has been some discussion with the developers of co.Comments on my blog, they are looking into Technorati problems because they spent a lot of time on the integration.

    I am going to give Commentful a try as well
  • @Andy
    The google search did not bring your article so here is the link for thos interested:

    I am also giving a try to commentful, as we speak actually.
  • Maybe they are doing personal search on blogsearch as well now?
    I still see that result in the top position.
  • @Andy,
    I was just thinking that. For me it does not show. I was all the way down to page 10. It showed however in the first place when I added andybeard.eu to the search query.
  • re:commentful

    I was just being silly vlad ;-)

    But I'll be curious to see which one you prefer.
  • @Mark,
    I have just started using commentful. Here is my initial impression. I don't see it has an option of automatically adding the URL to be tracked. Also the tracking consist only from tracking the number of comments, where at co.comments the actuall comment content is being recorded. I am not sure, I probably shoudl give it a few days try to see wich one I prefer. Maybe comdination of both can be usefull?
  • "automatically adding the URL to be tracked."

    no, you need to right click the page

    "the tracking consist only from tracking the number of comments"

    Yeah I see that also.

    I never could get co.comments to work for me so that's why I'm using commentful
  • "I never could get co.comments "

    I meant co.mments, and I hate their name ;-)
  • Mark,
    "no, you need to right click the page"

    Thanks for the tip. It makes things a bit easier. I actually think it can be real good if they would track the content of comments as well.

    I think the co.mment people have itended to be looked at as a real blog. Which I actually thing it is. I have been trying to avoid commenting on other blogs unless I have something of value to add and therefore I value my own conversations in the blogosphere. I do hope co.mments can figure out how to convinced about the same "Technorati".
  • You guys are becoming confused

    There is

    coComment.com which is all automatic, provides integration etc

    co.mments.com which you have to click to track

    Commentful.com which seems a bit like co.mments.com with notification
  • "You guys are becoming confused" lol

    Not a big news for me just take a closer look at most of my writing ;)

    Jocking aside, thanks for clarification. In the comments above I always thought of coComment.com, the one where you can install WordPress plugin along with FF extention, right?
  • yes I did get confused

    coComment.com - won't even load this morning
    co.mments.com - would "hang" or was slow when I tested
    commentful.com - not as many features but works every time so far
