    Technorati have overhauled their site completely. Some of the changes are great and some we could do without, frankly! The best change is that they have drastically sped up the site. I dunno did they add more servers or simply optimise their queries (I suspect the latter) but the site and particularly searches are now…

    Anyone else having trouble getting in to Technorati today? My attempts to get in in the last 10 minutes or so are timing out. UPDATE: It seems to be up again. I wonder what that was all about.

    If we ignore the fact that the term Web 2.0 is controversial for all kinds of reasons and concentrate on the applications themselves, which Web 2.0 apps (using the broadest possible definition) do you use most? I use: my blog and podcast software all the time (they are run out of WordPress) my Flickr account…

    Justin Mason has put together a list of the top 100 Irish blog sites by Technorati rank and by inbound links. Jason obviously put a huge effort into doing this and serious kudos to him for doing it. If it weren’t too difficult to do Justin, a monthly report of these numbers would be fascinating…

    Thanks to Niall Kennedy for pointing out Google’s new ping service. This is great – one of the biggest problems I had with Google’s blogsearch was how slow it was to pick up on posts. Several hours after posting an article, typically it still wasn’t up on Google whereas the post is often up on…

    I did a small bit of blog and social media consultancy for Roam4Free yesterday and it still never ceases to amaze me how few people are aware of prospective search. Prospective searching is the ability to search the future. It is the ability to enter a search term in a search engine and say tell…

    I have been trying a number of blog search engines recently. I have subscribed to searches for the same terms in Technorati, Ice Rocket, PubSub and Sphere. Sphere is the newest player on the blog search engine block, only coming out of beta last weekend. The search is adequate – I searched for “technorati blocked…
