Technorati Changes for the Better

New Technorati CEO, Richard Jalichandra, is already making things right after only one week on the job. To that end, Technorati is making some great changes:

1. Filtering tools are back. Filtering search results by the source blog’s authority is a tool that bloggers wanted & were very upset over when it was removed.
2. Tag search results and keyword search results have been separated once again. As Richard says, “We also know now that we alienated bloggers who tagged their blog posts, say, as being about Facebook (a really nice little company, I might add) by burying them with all blog posts that mention Facebook.”
3. Charts are back - you can see the popularity of a word over time.
4. They had been moving to a new co-location facility. They know they had issues during the move. The move is over and everything is going to be okay now. Promise.
5. They are implementing plans to enhance crawler accuracy & reduce indexing latency.
6. They know they need to get back to what is at their core: blog search.

Looks like we can’t count Technorati out yet.
