Technorati deserves to be funded well and hope Dave is able to take technorati to greater heights. Truly blog movement requires sich attention from VC's at this take off juncture.

I was struck by the previous comment by Max Niederhofer. I;m am not sure whether he was serious or joking. Steep? Google has achieved well over a billion dollars in revenue in five years and has a market value of $3.6 Billion. Technorati is clearly not Google, but may very well be already on its way to becoming a widely used and significant tool in the social software landscape. And Google has shown them how to make money. I think the VC's got a steal of a deal. I would also congratulate Technorati and I hope this is the beginning of some renewed excitement within the investment community.
