observations:

Technorati is way less annoying and overwhelming when you are signed in as a member.

Claiming your blog is really easy.

I need more authority. But how does one do this without trolling for links? Guess I'll have to make myself witty and insightful and learn the art of self-promotion.

You definitely get different results depending on how you search Technorati.

The popularity rankings indicate that the geeks (and I say that totally considering myself one of them) have certainly inherited the earth. Or at least the internet. Or maybe it just goes to show that even though everyone and my mother is using the internet, the people who get excited enough about it to be a presence and join things like Technorati are still the geekily inclined.

People really like cats, especially when they talk funny.

Also people really like gossip and politics and gossip about politics.

No matter how many articles New York Magazine writes about them, Gawker Media is doing a-ok.
