Talking Up Technorati

If Technorati is looking for a suitor or more venture capital, the latest State of Technorati report is a dead giveaway. CEO David Sifry talks about how Technorati has evolved into a new media company, how tags have really exploded, and how it’s still the most popular search engine with nine million unique visitors in March. While Technorati’s traffic may be seeing strong growth, the company doesn’t seem to have much or any mojo despite the fact traffic has been jumping recently. Maybe it’s just become a solid, little business as opposed to a sexy Web 2.0 play that could be snapped up by Google, Yahoo, etc. If you wanted to get into the blog market, would you buy Technorati or be better off pursuing someone like FeedBurner? Update: Sifry’s been leaving comments all over the blogosphere, including here. Make of that, what you will..:)
