Okay, I finally found time to put in a few words about Technoratti. Essentially, it seems to me, to be a place where bloggers can post themselves, so that one could search through blogs for say a particular subject. You could do a search for something you are interested and see what the community of bloggers listed in Technoratti are saying about that subject. At least in theory that is how it seems to go. You can also find videos and images that have been placed in their directory.
Personally I found it difficult to wade through all the stuff to find what I was really looking for. I felt like I was at a thrift store or a place like TJMax or Marshalls wading through all kinds of stuff on the racks to find the few items of true magic.
For bloggers it is great because by adding a widget to your blog, you can show up in the Technoratti database. This could increase traffic to your blog and potentially increase the number of people reading your posts.
Other cool elements of Technoratti appear more in the back end as a bunch of cool stuff for developers. The API available from Technoratti means you could make some cool mashups if you have the skills and interests to do so. Don’t know if I’d ever have that ability, but shouldn’t sell myself short, who knows what I could do in the future.
The added bonus I think though is the fact that they list a dog as a member of their staff. How cool is that! Although, his job title isn’t probably highly sought after, I mean who wants to look through garbage…
Well, that is about all I got in me today.
