Not getting it
I don’t mean to be a pill, but what does technorati do that is useful or interesting? I have yet to “get it”.
I find BlogPulse better for getting a snapshot of the Blogosphere (boy that term is getting tired, isn’t it?) and of course Feedster for performing direct queries (when Google isn’t enough).
A lot of people swear by it, so I’m sure I’m missing something. Perhaps someone can enlighten me and explain what all the buzz is about.

The median time from weblogs post to index is 7 minutes – which means that the cosmos is something you can keep checking – in real time – and participate with others in both reverse links (link cosmos) and keyword search.
Another big difference is that we’re covering a significantly larger set of blogs than anyone else – over 1.6M weblogs. That makes us between 4x – 15x more complete with any other service as well – so you get as complete coverage as possible.

Thanks Dave. I also noticed that you put the Search button back and a few other new cool features. I think I was underestimating the value of the ‘ping’ model. I’m going to try to jump into the BOF here at Etech and I may have a rebuttal to my own post after that.
