I still use it for stats, because I like their bar-graph format, but am sure I could get what I need from Google Analytics instead. I find Technorati is better at telling me who's responded to one of my posts than a link:url search on Google Blogsearch. But apart from that, I agree Google Blogsearch tends to be more timely. They have more spiders than our outdoor shed in summer. I think there’s a stronger case for Feedburner being defunct now that so many browsers are so much more RSS-friendly.

I suspect it is a place for people to search for information about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, if not, I'm stumped. “So tell me, what is the use of Technorati?”

If I were to set up a series of feeds for articles on art, what would I need to do to keep from being spammed with all sorts of articles on art that I'm not interested in. I've tried generic terms like Asian art or Renaissance art but haven't found the news feeder as accurate as my own searches plus the blogs that I read in a daily (or almost ) daily basis. I am such an Internet junkie that I probably don't need more excuses to be on line but what the heck! It's all gist for my painting, right?
