Digg, Technorati

With twitter the center stage current rage, I wonder how many bloggers still regard Digg and Technorati as relevant? 18 months ago I used to get regular traffic from both... Now if I get one visitor a week from either I consider myself lucky. Another element of blogging that seems to be on the back burner is the "trackback" feature. These features may have lost their importance, but some still find them useful. How about YOU? Do you use (or even care about) Digg or Technorati? By the way, I keep an eye on t'rati, and even when I tag posts, they seem to ignore them. A far cry from two or three years ago when an ordinary day for this blog's traffic count included 200 or more hits from targeted terms on t'rati!

I don't know..
It's hard to expect people fave or give authority. In a social-community that I am in, you even need to exchange.. which I think.. it's pretty cheating..

well, i don't know..

I'm getting a 404 error message on nearly everything today on Technorati. I'd never seen that before. Perhaps they're folding their tents.

I don't Digg anymore. I also don't Twitter. Following 10,000 is simply insane.

Everyone has been spread too thin -- been compelled to just to be noticed.

Content should be King, but it's not, yet that is. It will be though, and that will be a very good thing.

I actually came here off a Google blog-search on "Technorati." I was wondering if there had been any announcements concerning the current outage.

I don't wish them ill at all.

I do say here openly that they've been way too slow in the human-interaction department. Trouble tickets should always have resulted in a live person available somewhere.

Peace
