With over 12 million American adults currently maintaining
their own blog and more than 147 million Americans using the
internet, tools that make it easier to track blog updates and
organize web links are valuable indeed.
Technorati.com is one of those sites. It offers you tools
to help catalog your favorite sites and blogs, and it will
send you an email alert when the blogs you are tracking are
updated. Techorati currently tracks 112.8 million discussions
and over 250 pieces of tagged social media.
According to Technorati data:
... there are over 175,000 new blogs (that’s
just blogs) every day. Bloggers update their blogs regularly
to the tune of over 1.6 million posts per day or over 18
updates a second.
When bloggers link to and comment on other blogs, Technorati
tracks these links, rapidly indexing tens of thousands of updates
every hour. Blogs are then given an authority rating, based
on how many other blogs they are cross-linked to.
You can place Technorati tags on every post you make to your
blog, automtically pinging Technorati each time you make a
new post. Technorati then alerts all or your tag subscribers
to your new post, inviting traffic to your site to read the
full message.
Capitalizing on a good thing, Technorati sells popular tags
to advertisers, so that advertisers can place highly relevant
information on the tag preferences, bringing new definition
to the idea of market targeting.
Technorati also offers browser plugins, mini-applications
and other helpful utilities.
The Ticker Widget displays a real-time feed of what users
are searching on in real-time. The Top Tags Widget allows you
to display your blog’s top tags and those of Technorati’s
publishers. With the Technorati Authority Widget, you
can show visitors your status as a knowledgeable blogger.
Not a blogger? Technorati can still help you....
