Updated politics.technorati.com is live!
Updated politics.technorati.com is live!
08/30/2004 03:01 AMI'm proud to announce that we've just gone live with an
updated feature set and look to our Election Watch 2004 site,
politics.technorati.com.
You'll notice a few big changes, and a bunch of smaller, more subtle
changes and fixes. We've changed the orientation of the site away
from posting the most recent posts by authoritative political bloggers
(although you can still get to that view in 3-pane,
liberal
, conservativ
e, RNC, or
combined
view) to one that focuses on where the authoritative political
bloggers are spending their attention - what we are calling the Politics
Attention Index™.
The Attention Index measures the blog posts, news articles, and
other places on the Internet where bloggers are pointing. This is
similar to what Blogdex, Daypop, Popdex, or even Technorati's own NewsTalk
is doing, but we are limiting the set of bloggers to the ~10,000 most
authoritative political bloggers, which we derived by looking at both
what bloggers write about as well as how many other political bloggers
are linking to them. This is also how we analyzed blogs to find the
most authoritative liberal and conservative bloggers, and where
they're spending their attention over the last 12 hours (here's the Liberal Attention Index, and the Conservative Attention Index). Note that you'll sometimes find
the same items discussed by both liberals and conservatives, but often
the items are quite different, or the amount of attention spent is
quite different. These authoritative political bloggers became a
collaborative filter for events going on in the world - helping to
filter out the most interesting and important things going on around
the political blogosphere.
We've also added charts and
graphs! Working with the folks at CNN, we're tracking the histories and
comparisons of some of the major players and stories going on in the
political world. We'll be updating the charts that you can
see with others as topics emerge at and after the conventions.
As always, we're looking for your feedback! There's a lot we
did that are improvements on the old design, but I know there's still
a lot that can be made even better. Let me know what you think of
things, and how we can be of service to you.
Kudos to the entire Technorati team - you guys made this happen
I'm really proud of you.

What is Technorati?
What is Technorati?
01/22/2004 02:29 AMIf you're one of the tens of thousands of people who use Technorati every day, you'll
notice that most of our changes (on the new beta site so far have been
under the hood. Changes to the body have been minimal. As a result,
we've been scratching our heads because we've never explained exactly
what Technorati *is*. For that matter, we've never explained much
about what a "cosmos" is, either -- even though that's what Technorati
finds in its searches.
So I thought it would make sense to ask you what Technorati
is. Is it a search engine for blogs? A conversation
engine? Or something else again?
Same with "cosmos." Is there a more self-explanatory word for what
Technorati finds? Or a better way to say exactly what "cosmos"
means?
Let us know. We'd like to hear from you. Thanks!

11/17/2003 05:46 AMDavid Sifry's
Technorati
service -- a blogmining and analysis system that can tell you the
shape and velocity of the blogosphere at any given moment -- has been
cranky and creaky for a couple days now. Sifry has posted an update
to his blog, with info on how things are going and the difficulty of
keeping pace with blogging's amazing growth.
Allow me to give you some growth statistics: One year ago, when I
started Technorati on a single server in my basement, we were adding
between 2,000-3,000 new weblogs each day, not counting the people who
were updating sites we were already tracking. In March of this year,
when we switched over to a 5 server cluster, we were keeping up with
about 4,000-5,000 new weblogs each day. Right now, we're adding
8,000-9,000 new weblogs every day, not counting the 1.2 Million
weblogs we already are tracking. That means that on average, a brand
new weblog is created every 11 seconds. We're also seeing about
100,000 weblogs update every day as well, which means that on average,
a weblog is updated every 0.86 seconds.

Technorati and CNN
07/21/2004 04:38 PMA few minutes ago CNN announced
that Technorati will be
providing real-time analysis of the political blogosphere at next
week's Democratic National
Convention. I will be on-site in CNN's convention broadcast
center, along with Mary Hodder, and I'll
be providing regular on-air commentary on what bloggers are saying
about politics and the convention. And on Sunday, July 25, we'll
launch a new section of our site for political coverage: politics.technorati.com.
This site will make it easy for bloggers,
journalists, and anyone interested in politics to see the postings of
the most linked-to political bloggers, to track the ideas with the
fastest-growing buzz, and to monitor conversations in thousands of
other political blogs. CNN.com will
link to this site, and we'll be updating the CNN site with the latest
from the blogosphere.
This is a very exciting development for us at Technorati, and a
great acknowledgement of the importance that blogging has achieved in
political discourse. We're incredibly humbled by this opportunity. It
provides us with a great way to serve all of you who make this amazing
new medium possible. We take this responsibility very seriously and
hope to make you proud.

Technorati and Digital Garage just
announced that they will work together to set up Technorati Japan
which will be established as a subsidiary of Digital Garage and will
distribute Technorati services in Japan. I am a co-founder and former
co-CEO of Digital Garage. Digital Garage was a company that Kaoru
Hayashi and I established in 1994 and we merged his advertising
business and my Internet business together. We ran the company
together and did a bunch of things like bring Infoseek to Japan. I
later left the company to help run Infoseek Japan when it was spun
out. This is the first real work I've done with Digital Garage since I
left. It is really deja vu. When we brought Infoseek to Japan, people
didn't understand the concept of ad impressions and we had to do a lot
of teaching. We had to explain that impressions and clickthroughs
could be measured unlike sponsorships and ads in magazines.
With Technorati Japan, we're going to go through a similar process
again, this time explaining that it's now about conversations. We need
to explain that companies and people can see what other people are
saying in real time and participate in the conversations, and that
it's not about banner ads anymore. I'm also excited that we will soon
have a Japanese Technorati site for all of the Japanese bloggers.
We hope to get the service running sometime next year, but we're
going to get started right away trying to get people to understand
what this real live web and conversation stuff is all about.
Obviously, Japan is just the first step in our international
strategy, but it's nice being able to do it with a team that I know
and trust. It's also fun watching my old family meet and work with my
new family. And last but not least, welcome to our family Gen. Gen left Sony
and joined Digital Garage to work on Technorati Japan.

blogged about this too.

Why Technorati tags don't
Why Technorati tags don't
02/01/2005 09:47 PMTagging has become the latest hype word-du-jour, mostly due to
services such as
del.icio.us,
Flickr, and now,
Technorati.
Clay Shirky and
others have written strong statements
for this
folksonomy
phenomenon.
I personally love tags. They are a very cool way of attaching
meaning to information - essentially put the semantics in the web in
the "Semantic
Web" sense, even if the metadata is dissociated from the
pages themselves. But as a non-English speaker I see a potentially
fatal flaw here: Most Internet users don't speak English as their
first language. Even if I speak decent English and use a lot of
English services, I still tag things in both English and my native
language.
And that means that tags will become "language polluted."
Take a look at the Technorati tag for "Macintosh&
;quot;, for example. Many of the blog entries are in Japanese.
If you look at Orkut, many of the parts of it suddenly became &a
mp;quot;owned" by Brasilians, which essentially drove
away English speakers (I haven't checked how they have handled this).
USENET coped with this by having separate hierarchies for each
country (so sfnet is all Finnish) and "accepted" languages
on each newsgroup. But tags don't have any way to determine the
language.
The situation is worse than it should be, because entries on RSS
feeds and blogs almost never state what their language is. In
fact, I would guess that most RSS feeds claim that the language is
"en-US" regardless of their actual content. People like me
write in two languages on the same blog. Atom has the possibility of
setting the language-per-entry, but I sincerely doubt that anyone will
bother to set the language, unless they are relatively passionate
about the subject.
There are three cases of "language collision" on tags
(I'm using English and Finnish as an example only here).
- The tag is different in English and in Finnish. For example
"fishing" and "kalastus". This should pose no
problem, as the folksonomies grow on each of the tags independently.
- The tag is the same in English and in language Finnish, but the
meaning of the tag is different. In this case, the dominant mass of
the users will "hijack" the tag.
- The tag is the same in both languages, but the web pages will be
in different languages. This is the case with things like trade marks
(Apple, Macintosh, Nokia), or when people like to tag Finnish pages
with English tags (like me: I use the word "blog" to mark
any significant articles about blogs, regardless of the language).
This reduces the usefulness of tags for people who do not understand
Finnish.
There is also an additional tagging problem with languages such as
Finnish: the same word can be conjugated and written in multiple ways,
depending on the context. It is somewhat the same as the problem of
using different words for the same concept, but it does make the
number of potential strings increase three-fourfold.
There are few solutions to this problem: and probably all of them
involve some sort of heuristic to determine the language of the tag
and the web page. Tagging is still a relatively new technique to be
adopted in mass classification of things, but in order for it to
become truly successful, one must still remember localization.
Otherwise, it will be the dominance of the masses

clicking the Technorati link next to link next to trackbacks at the
bottom of the post. The result is similar to trackbacks, but these
links are links that have been discovered by Technorati, whereas trackbacks
are links that are sent to me directly by other bloggers.
Boing Boing recently started Technorati support and Dave Sifry
explains how to add this to your blog. Since I don't get as many
links as Boing Boing, clicking the Technorati link will often yield no
results. I think we need to figure out a way to easily show how many
links from Technorati, just like comments and trackbacks so people
will know whether they should click or not. Adriaan's got
it running on his blog using the Technorati API, but it's a bit
dodgy still so I'm going to wait for a better solution. ;-)
In order to make these results more accurate, it would be great if
people made a point to link as much as possible to the permalinks
rather than the top level URL when referring to entries in blogs.
