Technorati was founded to help bloggers to succeed by collecting, highlighting, and distributing the online global conversation - i.e. blogs. They specialize in indexing blog content for ease of categorization, reference, and searchability (real word! regardless of what dictionary.com says). A membership (free) allows users to subscribe to multiple blogs, easily find related content in the Blogoshpere, and readily view important content through a dashboard view of your subscribed blogs called your Front Page.

Have your own blog? Want it indexed on Technorati? Know your blog's URL and the speed of sound at sea level**? Have an internet connection? Awesome! That's just about all you'll need to set it up.

In fact, we're going through the last phase right now. That's right! Silverscape will be joining the ranks of the millions of other blogs in Technorati's Blogosphere. In order for anyone to join those ranks, you must register a blog URL and allow Technorati to verify your ownership. How do they do that? It's pretty clever, they provide you with a code (in our case e9bfwpmugv) that you must insert into a post in your blog. Once they index your blog content (and hopefully find the code), they'll add you to their community as a blog owner.

A community we should be a part of ... now.
