Technorati vs. Google Blog Search

Just a quick survey — do you still use Technorati over Google Blog Search? Why?

Technorati
US market usage reports via Techcrunch last Dec. 2006

Which of the two is better at tracking/indexing blog specific posts? I still enjoy the use of Technorati tags to track definite topical searches. It’s a really great filter. Feature-wise Technorati still rocks. I wonder if Yahoo is looking at buying it soon.

  1. I use both Technorati and Google Blog Search.

    for us using multiply technorati seems to do a better job (for now) its indexing happens in a matter of minutes AFTER a post.

  3. Luis says:

    I use both, but I agree with you – Technorati is much more feature-rich than Google Blog Search.

  4. Sonnie says:

    for blog search, I prefer technocrati

  5. eric says:

    i use both technorati and google blogsearch, pero functions-wise Techorati rocks…

    btw, im wondering, what’s with the sudden surge in google blogsearch between oct 7-21? mukhang masyadong malaki ang increase…

    You never know… Google might buy Technorati one day.

    I use both and like what others have mentioned, Technorati does have more features than Google Blog Search.

  9. Mae says:

    I use both because there are some posts that google blog search catches but technorati doesn’t and vice versa

  10. Michael says:

    Google Blogsearch for it’s date feature.

    Technorati for tags and blog authority.

    Otherwise, seemingly identical in that both seems to overlook others blogs in searching.

  11. Jim says:

    I use Technorati, I only knew about Google Blog Search on WordPress. At first look (use), Technorati seem to be more convenient and flexible to use than Google Blog search.

  12. jaren says:

    i use technorati… for blog search and a plus it has more features

  13. Technorati has a search function? Really? No, seriously I know the function is there, but what use it would be to me I have no idea. Too many bloggers seem to see what other bloggers are writing about and then write the same things … self-defeating in my book.

    Technorati would be a great investment for Google though, in terms of market penetartion/visibility but a lousy one in terms of technology/customer service … if I were Sergi and Brin I would just concentrate on just doing what Technorati does better and better until Technorati dies a natural death … but then again, I’m not that smart.

  14. [...] This sucks – and to think I was just raving about Technorati over at Abe’s. [...]

  15. [...] OK, you write your articles, but you have to let them know you just posted another article. So, ping Google’s Blog Search. Technorati is history in the new WordPress 2.3. See some charts here. [...]
