Regarding Technorati...

Nearly a month after setting up Dotventures at Blogger, I finally came around to signing up at Technorati. What is Technorati? Below is a snippet from their About us page:

Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. We search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media.”

One of the first articles I've done on Dotventures touched on Technorati's tracking of the so-called blogosphere which they also refer to as the "World Live Web". Back then the number of blogs on the Web was at around 70 million. As I write this, Technorati counts 101.6 million blogs in existence. That's an increase of more than 30 million in a few months time. And Technorati is at the frontline of documenting the Great Blog Boom.
