Talk:Technorati

message: This article is out of date. Technorati has changed CEOs, acquired two companies, launched an advertising network, and more, since this article was written. Please bring this article up to date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jen McLean (talk • contribs) 22:17, September 28, 2009
:The article introduction has been brought up-to-date, however the Reception section hasn't yet been updated to reflect the major changes in Technorati's business model. This should be addressed, as their initial business model was completely upheaved in favor of focusing on their advertising network. --Orun Bhuiyan (talk) 21:18, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Another part of the article that is conveniently out of date is the Alexa ranking in the info box, dated April 2014, for a company that, according to the article, switched from a search utility role to a remarkably less "public-facing" role in the following month, May 2014.  I'm quite surprised someone hasn't raised the "reads like an ad" flag.Lori (talk) 09:12, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also Dave Sifry is listed as the "owner", but he left the company years ago. Orun Bhuiyan (talk) 14:38, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Someone should add mention of Technorati's pioneering role promoting tags and microformats.
: I thought this would be obvious, but the article should also explain how exactly people should use Technorati.65.248.252.99 (talk) 07:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I was going to update this article with information like this until I realized Technorati underwent a significant transformation in their mission and business model. Is this still relevant from a historical perspective? If so a section on Technorati's late blog search engine may be appropriate. --Orun Bhuiyan (talk) 21:24, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing information 

message: [disclaimer: I work for Technorati]  The core of this article was written several years ago and does not reflect what either the site or the company do today. Further, the note at the bottom of the discussion page that insinuates that special interests from Technorati itself have taken over the article is pretty baseless, given just how inaccurate, how out of date and how negative and subjective the article is.  If the company had any involvement in writing the article or anything on this discussion page, it surely would be more accurate.  It is inappropriate for me to edit the article, but if someone would like to bring the article up to date, please contact me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karmushafon (talk • contribs) 14:52, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm willing to objectively update this article. What would you include? I believe that a section for Technorati's history as a blog search engine is appropriate. You didn't sign your comment so I can't get in touch with you. I'll go ahead and edit the article and if you notice I miss anything please let me know here (or tweet my username). --Orun Bhuiyan (talk) 21:29, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Unless Technorati uses and contributes to open source software I think it should be removed. It is unsourced, and even possibly POV? Computerjoe's talk 17:06, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the correct pronounciation of the site?
:I pronounce it Tek-no-arti , but I'm not sure if that is correct. Computerjoe's talk 19:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to know as well. I usually pronounce it "techno-ratty" or sometimes, in the manner of ghoti, "techno-rash." -Jordon Kalilich 16:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The article's statement that "In June 2005 WebPro News reported that at the opening of 2006 Technorati stopped crawling newly added sites" makes absolutely no chronological sense. How can a news report from June 2005 predict the future? Kaijan 20:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Technorati steals content. It is a major concern that Wikipedia allows links to such a site!

message: China has been widely criticized for its Internet censorship, but this criticism is not primarily due to its blocking of Technorati. I removed a sentence which seemed to imply otherwise. PuerExMachina 01:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Both the Dave Sifry and Tantek Çelik pages have a duplication of the 'Criticisms' section of this page. I think the information only belongs on this, the technorati page.

message: :Image:Technorati (logo).gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: This article is being manipulated by special interests (apparently, and particularly Technorati themselves), and those wishing to express an opinion about the validity of various Web analyses. It needs to be trimmed to a few basic facts, and monitored to preclude further spamming. WP:SPAM.  Piano non troppo (talk) 07:40, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hardly any changes in the last two months. This article is just a hot-bed of activity. I'm removing the totallydisputed tag. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 16:34, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

text: "Article seems to be a battleground" is based on that one edit from earlier today? Someone needs to chill out. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 16:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
