Technorati Looking to Sell?

posted on April 3, 2007


UPDATE: David Sifry left us the following comment – “I can assure you that Technorati is not for sale. We’re having too much fun and seeing significant growth, and there’s a bunch more stuff coming soon as well.”

I have to agree with Mark Evans’ observation on David Sifry’s “State of Technorati” post, it sure feels like he’s plumping his plumage, in hopes of finding a suitor. Hey, I’d boast too, with this kind of growth…

We’ve seen huge growth in the number of unique visitors to our site. In March, we exceeded 9 million unique visitors, which is a 141% increase in monthly visitors in a single quarter. Moreover, our quarter-over-quarter growth in page views was about 150% at the close of March (23% Growth in January, 24% Growth in February, 53% Growth in March).

It seems every few months, a new blog search engine launches, and claims are made that Technorati is doomed. Yet, it’s still the most consistent blog search tool out there and the one I rely on the most, as do others, it appears…

    I wish they were a bit more receptive to the developer community though. Their developer blog has a sum total of 4 posts last year and none this year, and I’ve been waiting for ages for a support question to get answered.

    Thanks for the kind words. I can assure you that Technorati is not for sale. We’re having too much fun and seeing significant growth, and there’s a bunch more stuff coming soon as well.

    Keep up the great work on your blog, it’s a regular read of mine, Andy!

    While they may be denying they are for sale I would love to see some of their functionality in some of the other engines. It seems yet another area Yahoo and MSN are lacking behind google.

    Yea, and if asked, I’d say my house is not for sale either… but if someone stopped by and offered me $500 million for it you’d probably find me looking up moving companies in the yellow pages.
