Confession of an Illiterate Mind

I have a confession to make.
As a blogger - not of the first minute of the blogosphere, but still a weathered one - I have to admit I have no idea what this website is: Technorati (テクノラティ). It's complete mumble-jumble to me.
Now, everybody will either snicker ("what a dumb bloke") or sneer ("how comes he tries to be such a smartass, nobody understands this chicken droppings scribbling"), but... but! I don't understand this either: Technorati. Is it just me struck blind, or is this site so much Web 2.0 it doesn't even attempt to explain its existence? What is this Technorati stuff? Am I my own grandparents for being so behind?

What else?

Die Blogosphäre wurde selbstreferentiell. Ja gut, das ist sie meistens, immerhin hat Bloggen noch immer etwas onanistischen Charakter.
