Is Technorati Going Downhill?
May 12, 2009 at 5:06 pm | In 1 | Leave a CommentI’ve been monitoring technorati for the last few months and I’m noticing that its quality is really degrading. Extremely slow, searches are not working, and feeds are not working (they are claiming right now that feeds are working after they moved their severs somewhere else, but they’re not).
Anyway, technorati is nothing more than a feed agregator, its community is shrinking, and I think Google should stop indexing it as it’s essentially indexing another search engine (with the small addition of grouping stuff by tags).
Technorati’s look & feel is also outdated by today’s standards. Can’t wait for a real competition.

Three Wolf Moon T-shirt Gone Viral

OK, the Three Wolf Moon T-shirt from Amazon is now officially viral. Hundreds of useless (yet hilarious) reviews are now posted, and, according to the BBC, its sales are up 2300%, and it’s now in the top 10 of Amazon’s apparel section.
The Mountain, which is the maker of these T-shirts, is not very satisfied with the comments this T-shirt has gathered on Amazon. Well, my answer to them is, you should enjoy it guys, and you’ll see how silliness can end up as money in your bank account.
While you’re at it, and if you’re outsourcing your job and literally have nothing to do, check this guy’s reviews on Amazon.
I guess that there’s no such thing as bad advertisement.
