Holy atrocity to design

I guess Technorati thinks I'm only interested in sex because when I went to check it out, this was the first link on the page (I'm sure the community appreciated him sharing naked pictures of his wife for two years), a couple of links then a peeping suing to recover porn, then some music, and last before I clicked off the page, kissing booths.

I guess that's what is popping now on the best of blogs. o_O

Ewww I don't like it at all!

I liked the design that had a couple weeks ago. What happened to that?

This design is hard. to. read.

I'm never quite sure what technorati is good for and it always loads so slow. I like the categories they have to click on the stories not sure why those stories are bouncing up and down. maybe it's just my browser but it drives me crazy.

I'm already content they removed that ticker thing. To be honest, I never visit there. What is it good for anyway? A real pity.

Cool, Simple but effective design

Found this comment that I agreed with completely:

People didn’t leave Technorati because blog search wasn’t enough, but because its quality went subpar. And if the goal with these new features/services is to go for a new fresh audience, that’d be like starting from ground zero, therefore a risky proposition.

It seems as though they don't understand what people really want or how to efficiently provide the content. Until they figure that out, they are toast. I can't believe they released what they did based on feedback from their users.

Well the scary thing is they claim to have more up their sleeves and who knows what that means considering what they are showing already. And according to their blog the scrolling only takes into account the top blogs, not all of the blogs they are collecting. I mean I feel bad that every time I talk about them it is negative, but how can you develop something like this or even start to develop something like this and be thinking the whole time that it is a great idea?

I don't feel bad that everything I say something it is not positive. Give me something positive to say...give me something to work with. Technorati stopped doing that along time ago. I wish they never took the funding because that is when things (IMO) started to go downhill.

I get they pooled that information from the top blogs but as I demonstrated just because they are top blogs doesn't mean they'd want the content on the front page. My experience, the page wasn't even work safe let alone kid friendly.

They are a search engine but their search results are crap. Why don't they work on that? A long time request is the ability to filter things out of the results. I can't filter out MySpace blogs from search results for nothing but I "should" be able to since they do not make the same efforts to make the search results relevant.

And another long-time request was to make their rankings unbiased. The top blogs are the ones they picked, not the top ranking ones. Can't have it both ways.

Sorry, I lost my patience with Technorati a long time ago when they stopped listening to their users.

I'm glad that they removed their tagline about how there are so many blogs out there that some of them have to be good as if to say: "well, we'll get this right some day...".

Talk about "quality," that they willingly capitalize on manipulating the WTF acronym so they can make an excuse to create a sensationalist tab named that is pretty telling.

Where's the fire?? Ugh. Try too hard, or try not hard enough--I can't tell.

It's easier to find blogs on Google than technorati so why bother going there when half the time the "technorati monster" is loose and you can't find anything anyway.

I feel kind of bad for them. They've been floundering around like this for years now. Besides just now (to see what it looks like), I've not been to Technorati in ages. Their blog search was dreadfully slow, both in actual searches, AND in what it included. Often it would take days for stuff to show up in it.

I personally think their site is just junk. They need to shoot the horse and put it out of its misery, because I don't think it's going to be galloping again.

I really don't understand what they're trying to make of that site...

Technorati became irrelevant to me when it switched to the design before this one - when the focus had switched from mainly blogs to blogs/videos/pics. I got fewer and fewer hits through technorati and I found myself going to google's blog search when I needed to find something.
