Jason and the Evils of The Technorati

Reasons Technorati makes me want to hit things with cabbage:
  1. The site is always slow. ALWAYS. This is because the servers on which it sits are actually just giant wooden abacuses moved about by sloths on Ambien.
  2. The interface is confusing at times. Mainly, all the time.
  3. Simple search: "playwriting". Received this message 8 times over the course of a day:And that's just gee golly frustrating.
  4. Just because the blog you've found is popular in Technorati, it doesn't mean its an authority on anything. When it finally did give me a listing for playwriting, the blogs I reviewed were so poorly written I literally thought of opening one of the pepper packets in my desk drawer and pouring the pepper into my very own eyes in hopes that A) the seering pain would make me forget what I had just seen, and B) I might go blind and, thus, never have such things pass mine eyes again.
Now, let me just say that your mileage may vary. Technorati may open up for you like a freshly bloomed flower from which you might collect the pollen of wonderful knowledge. And that would be awesome. Totally. And if you happen to get all connected with it, you can even link to this here blog with the button in the sidebar.

My experience, however, can be summed up in the tags.
