I just wanted to tell you, I don't want to join the conversation, not about Live 8, Tom Cruise, or Iraq. I want to use your tool to do what it used to do best: SEARCH BLOGS.
Why, oh why, when I search on my blog's URL do you keep giving me error message after error message. I just got it again.
Technorati, my most valued tool, has been useless to me for searching on information for my clients and myself for two days.

Noc, my cache administrator, consider this your notification.
I would appreciate it if you would turn your tool back into a search tool first, and give me some options on HOW I WANT to experience the world live web--which is really cute by the way. I do like that.
However, my idea of fun and work might be different from yours.
For example, you might enjoy the nice layout and images on the first page of search results you return for me.
I, on the other hand, WANT TO SEE MORE THAN FOUR SEARCH RESULTS WITHOUT HAVING TO CLICK AND WAIT MINUTES ONLY TO GET ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE.
You say you will show all of my most recent posts if I click: Show all 437 links from 333 sources » but you lie.
You just throw another error message in my face when I click it.
Technorati, I have always loved you. I know I have used you in the past, but I'm trying to tell you something here that will make both of our lives better...
...Don't forget what you are, Technorati. Lesser companies have failed to survive that single mistake.
