Hi Ilya, you're probably right. Even I as a blogger alternate between Technorati and Google Blog search. I might have to ask a few people other than bloggers if they've ever head of Technorati and see what they say.

But it does seem these recent moves by Technorati are an attempt to solve that problem.

I doubt anyone other than bloggers visits Technorati...but that's a big enough demographic in its own right...

Great point. I wonder if there's a way to do Technorati searches only on the tags people are supposed to be using?

I wish Technorati would allow searches to be sorted by relevance as well as by authority.

Many clicks away from Webomatica, I wanted to test the brand new Technorati. I searched for posts in english with a lot of authority about "bonsai", my favorite test word, and landed here.

Great post, informative etc except that you're not writing much about bonsai trees. Ah, you list Binary Bonsai at the bottom of your post. That's why. Doesn't give much satisfaction to my burning desire to find out about the wonderful world of bonsai though...

To be fair, going back to Technorati and searching by tags gives me a pretty excellent set of bonsai videos, blog posts and pix.

So, Technorati's new design and all: thumbs up from me. Just needs a relevance filter.
