Rank your reasons for thanks 
| | David has been quietly showing me Technorati over the last week or so while it's been in development; and I've been waiting eagerly for him to finally unveil one of the coolest blogging accessories ever put in a browser. |
| | If you've ever watched your referer logs, you're going to dig how far Techorati goes beyond them — all the way out to the cosmos, which is your new blog buzzword. Here's my own, ranked by freshness. And here it is again, ranked by authority. |
| | How did I find them? On my fresh cosmos list in Technorati. |
| | In a week David has populated a database with around12 thousand blogs and over 1.3 million links. |
| | Google Juice tells you how a given URL does in searches for specific terms. (e.g., mine is #6 on a search for "weblog.") Google Rank lays out the whole list for the search term, and shows you whether each result has moved up, moved down or stayed unchanged. |
| | One of the coolest features is this one: it's full of freebies, but it's also commercial. For $5/year, you can set up a watchlist to keep track of happening stuff. My watchlist, for example, told me today that Politics and Blogs linked to something I wrote. |
| | I could go on. Better you should explore. And give thanks to David for a job well done. |
This blogging life
| | The piece features (linked in itsy type in a box to the side) a 'roll of sixteen blogs, starting with Marc Canter's. Fun to see the big guy listed ahead of Glenn Reynolds, Andrew Sullivan and other usual suspects. Not a knock on those guys — they're all primo 'n shit — but reading Marc is like taking a sangria shower. You get your ass baptized in fun and flavor. |
| | Can you tell I've been drinking? Not a common thing. Chianti, if you need to know. Hey, it's Thanksgiving. Salut. |
