After a comment from Zoli Erdos on my blog entry about Technorati, I don't completly agree with the article, but then again the only problem I have seen is that my posts don't get indexed correctly [although, each time that I mention they don't about a day later they appear in the listing]

I do however agree with the following statement:

Now, let’s talk about communication: emailing techorati support is acomplete dead end. Bloggers quickly learned the trick: emailing Dave Sifry(CEO), or perhaps Kevin Marks, or tagging blog entries with their names used toresult in a response, and sometimes even corrective action. That’s nolonger the case. I understand. The CEO personally emailing back isnot exactly scalable communication. But why doesn’t Technorati have asearchable Knowledge Base, or at least a FAQ of known issues andsolutions? This is really Customer Service 101.

I really don't know if we should be complaining about this, after all Technorati is still a free service, it has a free access API and it has provided me with a lot of hits on my blog.

I lead the Chrome Developer Relations team at Google.

We want people to have the best experience possible on the web without having to install a native app or produce content in a walled garden.

Our team tries to make it easier for developers to build on the web by supporting every Chrome release, creating great content to support developers on web.dev, contributing to MDN, helping to improve browser compatibility, and some of the best developer tools like Lighthouse, Workbox, Squoosh to name just a few.

I love to learn about what you are building, and how I can help with Chrome or Web development in general, so if you want to chat with me directly, please feel free to book a consultation.
