Only few people notice this scheme of Technorati. I guess this is one reason why Technorati nowadays isn’t one of the most sought-after Web 2.0 site. It’s a good thing that you noticed it.

But most people probably prefer it off. So, to combat that, they just made the default 'on' and made it difficult for you to switch it off. So that, only people who know what they're doing, will be able to switch it off while the rest of the public would leave them free advertising. Not good, not good. They really ought to be very clear about these sorts of things, and have a clear policy that they adhere to.

Google Blog Search only shows me about 5% of the blogs that actually link to my site.

It was only last week when I discovered Wordpress has replaced their default link discovery partner from Technorati to Google Blog Search.

If anyone uses Wordpress, log into your Admin area and go to the Dashboard area. You'll see your incoming links are powered by Google. Personally, I think that was a good move since Technorati really seems to be slacking lately. Nevertheless it was rather inevitable when you're competing against search Giants.

Why would you leave it there in the first place? Every piece of third party embedded content slows your site down.
