Occasionally a tech tool comes along that becomes commonplace and indispensible.
If you’ve blogged for a bit, you’ve probably heard about Technorati.

And if you use it, you may have noticed it hasn’t updated for a few days.
That’s because they have been working on a new and improved version.

It’s still in beta, but hey, it’s already faster.

LivingRoom
Darren is still at it. Still posting every 15 minutes.
Luke just brought some fortification by way of caffiene and food.
Head over and make a contribution, there is about $50.00US to go for the first pedicab.
Haven’t seen any typos yet, but the blogathon is young.
While you are over, check out the Blogger Idol entries.

Whew, speaking of Idol, I’m watching the American Idol auditions.
How painful!
Some of these young people seem to have never been told the truth and don’t handle it well. I wonder if they can spell entitlement. They certainly have learned the meaning of humiliation.
I’m happy to say Blogger Idol is light years ahead, it’s hard to pick just one.

Cracking the top
Another tool that is useful is NZ Bear’s Ecosystem.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen a non-US blog crack the top 20 with the exception of Tim Blair.
Way to go Blogs Canada!
Pundits will be setting up a group election blog.
