Technorati CEO on Techmeme

Technorati’s new CEO Richard Jalichandra seems to have some good perspective when it comes to talking about Techmeme:

WN: What’s your take on TechMeme’s leaderboard?

RJ: It’s a great little site and there are a lot of cool things on there, but when I look at the assets we’re sitting on it’s clear that we’re doing something different. They don’t track 100 million blogs and they’re not nearly as embedded in blog community. There’s nothing wrong with that, but in terms of how deep we can go, I feel like we’re in a pretty good place.

This echoes my own thoughts. Technorati has built an extensive infrastructure, something that is hard and expensive to replicate. Techmeme covers only a small niche of the blogosphere. Technorati wants to cover it all. Let’s see what they do over the next few months.
