How Technorati Helps You

According to larry’s request, it is a long story so I explain how Technorati works in this separate post instead of so long comment. Technorati is actually a specific search engine focusing on providing service involving blog, blog, and blog. Generally, search engine is a key component of surfing Internet today. Nobody knows where the information they are looking for are, especially blog. Blog is not just old fashion web content but in fact, it could be categorized as up-to-date content. In other words, blogs are frequently updated than normal web page. Though, blogs are not similar to dynamic pages like webboards or forums because they are contentful and are usually in medium length. Since blogs are updated so often, search engines must update their indexes as fast as possible. How to do that? Polling is not good enough in this situation so someone proposed asynchronous solution to solve this problem. The result is XML-RPC Ping service. This solution pushed additional duty to content publishers or content management software so Ping server will be notified about the update of given URL.

Google Reader now allows us to  some items via separate feed. Feed items are grouped by label and a plus starred item. By default, all labels and your starred items are not shared. In other words, you can choose which labels to share. Anyway, there are only 2 permissions: private and public. For example, my starred items are accessible through this . In addition, you can also show that feed on your sites directly via short javascript as follow.

After creating my first page at , I found something different from just other wysiwyg editors such as TinyMCE and FCKeditor.

Mac OS X is now available in Intel’s x86 processor so there might be lots of x86 fans interesting to give it a try. Everybody knows how it is beautiful. Anyway, there were not so many softwares and applications for end-users so many of them didn’t use Mac OS X in real life including me. Well, Intel Mac is going to change the world.
