Operation Global Media Domination: Fuck Technorati!

TIAThat's right: despite (finally) breaking into the top 140,000 blogs on Technorati (of 43.6 million), raincoaster is heartlessly abandoning the inconsistent, illogical, and inaccurate Technorati rankings for a new favorite toy.

That's right. Something useful on the Huffpo. Whodathunkit, eh? But me wuvs this little tool and will abuse it daily, repeatedly, and with much affection and generous lashings of lube (gin Martinis, "for Mrs. Parker").

From Gawker:

The HuffPo’s virgin media blog Eat the Press has an entertaining new time-waster: the People Ranker, which charts the levels of buzz in the blogosphere. Just enter a string of names, and the fun little gizmo spits out popularity contest-style results. We love it — it’s so much easier to be snotty and judgmental when you have concrete data.

Yes indeedy it is. And why does raincoaster love it so much? Let's take it for a slow and careful, quarter-turn by quarter-turn spin, shall we?

  1. Thank you. Yes, I love it when a plan comes together.

    Actually, I nearly peed myself when I saw that. Jessica Coen writes FUCKING GAWKER FOR GOD’S SAKE!!!!! And I do realize that with all the self-referential third personing raincoaster does ’round these parts it’s probably at least 50% me making those references in the first place. Still, there are those who hate me and as long as they spell my name correctly Huffpo’s People Ranker will find me, and so will Technorati, thirty days later.
