After spending the last 3 years with a broken infrastructure, failing miserably at indexing and updating blogs, while maintaining an elitist "quality standard" that - also broken - prevented many blogs from even being indexed, and focusing their energy instead on an advertising platform which took forever to roll out, is plagued with bugs, and apparently is not paying out to its users - and in light of how many massive sea changes the social Internet has gone through as Technorati ignored quality control - are the relevant at all anymore?
I've decided that they're not worth the endless complaints to tech support, the never-ending battle for proper indexing and authority attribution, and other problems I've experienced consistently for years with several different blogs, and have asked them to cancel my account (that's right, you have to ask - you can't just close out your account). In typical Technorati fashion, they have yet to reply to my many requests for support in this matter. Is anybody using Technorati anymore? If so, are you happy to be doing so? Do they matter at all in the blog/Facebook/Twitter world that evolved around them as they sat around growing comfortable, lazy, and completely dysfunctional? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
