Technorati loves me!

by Violet Blue on October 17, 2006

violet blue on technoratiIt’s true — they just made me a “Featured Favorite” on Technorati! Not only are they now tracking 55 million blogs, but they have just added me (!) to their roster of Featured Favorites, so I’m on a sidebar banner that clicks Technorati front page readers to a very selective list of my favorite blogs. In this, I join the ranks of Technorati Favorites like Eric Rice, Wil Wheaton, Arianna Huffington, David Sifry, Jonathan Schwartz and many more.

The irony, of course, is that right now Technorati is pasted to and fro with huge banner ads for CNN’s Porn: America’s Addiction series. Ha!

What’s great about that in its own way is that Technorati asked me to be a Featured Favorite based on a conversation about my back-and-forth with the SF Chronicle. I said it seemed like Teh Chronic didn’t know what to do with me, and wanted what I had to offer as a blogger and sex culture pundit, but that they were too nervous to even link to my own website — I said it seemed like they were afraid to own all it meant to associate with me. Technorati said — we’re not. We want to feature you. And now they are. I went to their very nice offices, met the staff (lotsa hotties, I’m just sayin’), they took photos of me for the feature button, and I hung out and picked a small, exclusive selection of my most-read and favorite blogs.

So check out my Technorati Featured Favorites list; I’ll be adding to it as time goes by. I *heart* Technorati right back!
