Using this cool little software program I have managed to increase my Technorati Authority about five percent in a couple of days. It really is easy to use and you can automate the process of faving those who have done the same for you.

We are up to 114 this morning and the top 57K blogs on the web. Last summer we were in the top four million. And how many blogs are started every day? According to Technorati THIS many. . .

Welcome to Technorati

Currently tracking 112.8 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media.

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.”

But it all started with blogs. A blog, or weblog, is a regularly updated journal published on the web. Some blogs are intended for a small audience; others vie for readership with national newspapers. Blogs are influential, personal, or both, and they reflect as many topics and opinions as there are people writing them.

Blogs are powerful because they allow millions of people to easily publish and share their ideas, and millions more to read and respond. They engage the writer and reader in an open conversation, and are shifting the Internet paradigm as we know it.

On the World Live Web, bloggers frequently link to and comment on other blogs, creating the type of immediate connection one would have in a conversation. Technorati tracks these links, and thus the relative relevance of blogs, photos, videos etc. We rapidly index tens of thousands of updates every hour, and so we monitor these live communities and the conversations they foster.

The World Live Web is incredibly active, and according to Technorati data, there are over 175,000 new blogs (that’s just blogs) every day. Bloggers update their blogs regularly to the tune of over 1.6 million posts per day, or over 18 updates a second.

Technorati. Who’s saying what. Right now.

So blogging is about conversation using other means. Now we can have a conversation with someone on the other side of the world and a minute later be talking to someone across town. It’s all pretty amazing and mostly a lot of fun. When I think about what a miracle blogging has become all of the routine complaints just fly out the window.

And here’s a guy who has been bringing in lots of traffic while posting irregularly. He really is fascinating to me because I post all the time and have over seven hundred posts in about seven or eight months worth of blogging.

He is a very efficient user of time. I can only imagine what he would be doing if he spent more time with it.

I guess we are going to have to wait awhile for part 2 because, as I say, he marches to his own drummer.
