[…] Co-incidentally, when I interviewed Technorati’s CEO David Sifry on the PodLeaders show a couple of weeks back, Ken submitted the following question for David - Do you have a China strategy? What do you foresee there in terms of blogging and blog search? […]

[…] I listened to Tom Raftery’s Podcast with David Sifry and I wasn’t impressed at all. He seemed quite evasive on many technorati related questions like funding and making money. The site is slow, the way it seems to rank things is a bit like playing black magic and I’ve rarely seen stuff come my way from it. Compare that to daily traffic from Tailrank. Technorati has been at it for a good bit now, shouldn’t they start making a profit soon or selling themselves to someone? Though all it needs is a little time and a Google algorithm tweak and they could be quite screwed. Maybe I’m blind but what value does it bring to net users? Do they secretly sell their surveys to the NSA and FBI? If they make themselves a blog version of Nielsen then yeah, they might be on to some gold.

Tom,

Glad to see my question getting through!

Dave’s answer was pretty good. You can, in fact, use Technorati to search in Chinese. That kind of gives him a presence here - I use Technorati all the time, including for Chinese keywords. I also think he’s wise to consolidate his main market before getting involved in somewhere like China - this can be a tricky place to do business.
