But will they respect us in the morning? Such things always remind me of the “most popular” girl in my high school – who ended up waddling across the stage to get her diploma (to her credit, even with impending motherhood, she did get her degree.)
And, Technorati doesn’t capture a lot of links as it is. After my recent blog/site renovation, they lost me so I went from being in the “Magic Middle” to the ZZ list. Ah, well I was a geek in high school too!
LOL. As for losing links, I’ve noticed (as have others) that Technorati will often have conflicting information about a single blog on different areas of their site. Doesn’t inspire confidence.
I actually like many aspects of Technorati, and use it all the time in my own work. I just have a problem with their “authority” designation – confusing popularity with authority is a very very bad thing in my book. And that’s not to say that the popular bloggers don’t have “true” authority in their chosen space. Many do. And some just don’t. That’s the problem. How does someone who isn’t playing our special brand of “inside baseball” truly know which is which…..
Yes, brings to mind the celebrity cult. If somebody is famous, we (as a society) tend to automatically attribute both intelligence and knowledge to them. I’m sure, for example,that there are people who think Tom Cruise really is an expert on mental health. After all, he’s read a lot!
