Oi Technorati.....I want to go straight to my blogsite!

Technorati has yet another design.....saw it this pm when I logged in, wondered if it was a glitch, went to see if others knew, here it is on TechCrunch..apparently its redesigned for bloggers

The recently changed home page, just three months old, is gone. In place of the streaming blog posts is a news aggregator that, like TechMeme and the New York Times’ Blogrunner, use linking behavior on news sites to determine headline news.

Blogs and mainstream media are separated. Blog headlines are on the left; MSM is on the right. Below each headline is a cluster of blogs that have linked to and discussed the story.

The news aggregator complements Technorati’s core strength as a blog search engine, Carroll says. Sometimes users want to search. Other times, they want to discover and browse. The news aggregator helps them see what bloggers and journalists are talking about right now, all over the world.

I wonder if they tested this on users? I don't give a rats arse for all the other stuff, I just want to go straight to my page from sign-on, and its now a 3-hop process. Grrrrrr.......

Also, I don't see the cluster of commenting blogs or the range of stories like Techmeme has.

Still, its miles better than Google Blogsearch, so I guess I'll have to grin and bear it.

(PS does anyone understand how Google Blogsearch actually works - the results seem very odd ?)
