Seems like it’s technorati hatred time all around the blogosphere. When I first posted about how I was unhappy about the new “way of technorati” of profiting from the blogosphere I asserted that the service would probably see a drop in its users. Now I was reading some posts and it seems like Kottke said the same thing a few days ago, and most recently, Fred Wilson.

This story has two main aspects, in my own opinion. The first, and the one I’ve mentioned before, is how I (and some more people) don’t like seeing technorati use it’s service to sell corporations new ways to influence the opinions of the blogosphere. I know it’s a business world, but even so, it’s something that leaves a sour taste in my mouth when I say “technorati”.

The second is, at least provide a decent service so people can cope with the dark side. I don’t necessarily keep a constant eye on the links to blog posts, but use it to check out news for events, particularly those of a technical nature, that are naturally prone to be blogged enough about. If Technorati isn’t able to give me that information, the reasons I might have to use it drop down to zero.

For now, it’s doing the job okay for the most part, but considering there are alternatives like pubsub and icerocket, I’d mind the service quality, if I was on technorati.
