Technorati adds Keyword Watchlists
Technorati adds Keyword Watchlists
01/05/2005 03:42 AMCory Doctorow:
Technorati, a service that indexes blogs in real-time and provides
search, indexing, and link-analysis, has added "keyword tracking."
For example, say you're interested in keeping track of the recent
rumor that Six Apart is buying LiveJournal. You would start by going
to Technorati and typing in a set of search terms like:
("six apart" OR sixapart) AND (livejournal OR "live journal")
This will give you an instantly updated stream of posts from blogs
around the world that are talking about both SixApart and LiveJournal,
in a post, using a variety of spellings.
Note the results page, however - Underneath the title of the search,
you'll notice a link that says, "Make this a Watchlist". Click on that
link, go through the login process (or create an account if it is the
first time at Technorati), and you'll get a link to that saved search
to put into your favorite RSS reader.

You can now query Technorati for advanced search
terms such as tsunami and ("red
cross" or "red crescent") and it will give you all of the blog
posts in order by how long ago they were posted that include the word
"tsunami" and either "red cross" or "red crescent". You can then click
"Make this a Watchlist" and create an RSS feed so you can track all
new posts that match that query in your news reader.

Updated Technorati Plugin
Updated Technorati Plugin
06/25/2004 01:50 PMJacques Distler emailed me to note that the Technorati API is now returning data encoded in UTF-8. While that may not mean much to you, it
does mean that if you are using my Technorati
plugin to put the Technorati Link cosmos on your site and one of
the links in your cosmos has certain characters in it, all sorts of
things may break.
So I’ve updated the
plugin to fix that problem and add a couple of minor changes to
how it works. This should make things a bit more fault tolerant.
- (change) XML errors now give a
message in the activity log instead of halting the rebuild.
- (new) If Technorati doesn’t respond, a message is added to
the activity log.
- (change) The Technorati API’s
output is now UTF-8. Removed Jacques
Distler’s patch (added in 0.92) to strip control chars, as it
now causes problems with multi-byte characters.
- (change) Support for the LIMIT parameter
to the API. You can now request up to 100
lastn items from the plugin without slowing hte rebuild or using more
than one request.

Court Rules Evel Knievel Is A Pimp;
Knievel Rules Judges Are Bimbos
01/04/2005 08:20 PMReally not quite sure what to make of this one, but it's too amusing
to pass up. Apparently, a few years ago, ESPN posted a picture of
famed daredevil Evel Knievel with his arms around two women (one of
whom was his wife) with the caption: "You're never too old to be a
pimp." Knievel, not realizing this was a (weak) attempt at
complimenting him, sued ESPN for defamation. A lower court tossed out
the ruling, and he appealed. Now the Appeals Court has ruled against
him as well, noting that, based on the context no one is actually
going to think Knievel is a "pimp," and, in fact that the statement
was supposed to be a positive one, as the slang of the day suggests.
Knievel, apparently lacking a sense of irony over this particular
case, has responded by
calling the judges
"bimbos." The full quote is: "They ruled against the law. What
good is law in the United States of America if five or six goddamn
bimbos are going to rule against it?" You think he intended that as a
compliment? Anyway, in the meantime, feel free to go on captioning
photos on the web while calling people pimps.

Resume Rules
09/13/2004 02:14 PMUSA Today is claiming that the
rules have changed for resumes, now that they're
mostly sent via email instead of snail mail. However, when they get
into the details, they sound amazingly like the "rules" many of us
learned back in the days before you emailed resumes: focus on results
from previous jobs (read: throw in lots of useless percentages to make
it look like you improved something), use "descriptive or significant
terms" (read: make sure you include the BS buzzwords-of-the-moment to
make it through that first pass filter), don't send the wrong cover
letter to the wrong company (read: don't be completely stupid), and
don't apply "above your skill level" (read: don't waste HR's time so
much). I remember hearing all of these years ago as well, and they
don't seem any different in this "new age of electronic resumes" as
the article would have you believe. Then, of course, there's the
biggest recommendation for this supposed new age: they suggest you
spam as many companies as possible. Again, has there ever been a time
when people were told to send out
fewer resumes? If anything,
it seems like this strategy is the
wrong strategy in the
digital age where HR folks are
so
inundated with resumes that some have found that going back to
paper
resumes is much more effective in getting attention.

Technorati and CNN
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.

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 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.
Dave has
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
