- You can create PDFs with a little program called PDF Converter 5 Pro from Buy.com for $99. Throw in a copy of OpenOffice software and the Dell is cheaper than the Apple. I don't buy it.

Am I sure about what??

Meh, no big deal in my mind.

Put it this way: my 16 year old girl cousin would talk about the same things on her MySpace blog if I set her up with WordPress on her own domain. The WP install would still get indexed by Technorati so I don't see the big problem with MySpace being indexed as well.

Now a blog's content will be more important than its Technorati ranking ;)

Vinnie--

Platforms do not have equal rights under the law, so to speak. That is why sites are sandboxed by Google for a period of time.

So why does Technorati include MySpace blogs in its search results listed alongside established and respected blogs like Boing Boing, Michelle Malkin and Seth Godin?

You're right that platform does not dictate content exclusively but I think there is something to be said for prospects of quality content. Someone who has a WordPress blog is far more likely to produce decent non-sandbox type content than a MySpace blog...

The internet is not for the elite!

Sorry Paul but reality flies in the face of your assertation. For instance, Google Pagerank does give people more elitism than others. In fact, the entire concept of SERPs is in fact elitist. There is no reason why Technorati or any other indexing service should treat everybody equally. It's certainly not fair to people who work hard to put their blogs into elite company.

Hey Aaron,

Thanks for the visit, this was one of the most thought-provoking posts I've read in awhile. Better minds than me have weighed in on this great conversation that you created...

But, in response to your question, "Do you want your blog to do poorly," I wanted to say--of course not!

But I do want MySpace users who love Neil Diamond, Paul Auster, or my other favorite artists to read my site! Putting them in the Technorati mix makes it easier for me to find them and for them to find me. Already, you can choose the "most authority" button on Technorati if you want to create a more elitist list of search results.

I don't use that option. I want my blog to be read by many different kinds of people, not just people who read Steve Rubel.

Cheers, Jason Boog

Yep... I guess you are right.. It is high time they updated the blog program.. Besides, the blog being available only o members has its limitation, while submitting to sites like Technorati.. Anyway, there are some good ones out there.. it is like a dediated club.. somebody pens a blog and by the end of the day, he has his usual ons of comment feedback.. Now this for a regular blog, will take sometime to build up a regular comment database.
