Death of Technorati?
Over on monkey methods, Dave is writing that because of last month's announcement by MS that they will are supporting RSS search, that Feedster and Technorati will die (via Scripting News)
According to the blogsphere then, the future of Technorati and Feedster is a discount acquisition by one of the portals, maybe at the end of this year. Nothing to see here, folks.
But I don't know if I buy it. After all, as rafer points out, MS is offering merely the search of feed metadata, not feed posts. Site content feeds remain tough to locate and maintain -- what MS really needs to do is hire a bunch of content editors to create a overall map of the blogosphere. That's a brilliant idea!
Oh wait, isn't that just what technorati and yahoo have done?
