We’ve just made it easier to find out what people are saying about anything on the web, anytime. The new Technorati This favelet can be used in three ways to put the power of Technorati to use on any web page you’re browsing:

  1. Select some text on any web page. Click the Technorati This favelet and it will search over 4.7 million weblogs for that text.
  2. While browsing any web page, click the Technorati This favelet and it will show you what bloggers are saying about that page right now.
  3. If the browser window is empty when you click the Technorati This favelet, it will ask you for a keyword or URL to search for.

Get the favelet.

We’ve been using them internally for a while, and it really makes a difference in my web browsing experience to get a quick view of what people are saying about any particular article, web page, company, keywords, or blog post.

    This is exactly what I thought Google should do….with each search, there should be an icon that can be clicked to indicate the blogversations about the searched subject. Nice work….now, license it to Google and make some cash off of it. Thanks for creating this!

    It is getting to the point where bloggers assume if it is not in Technorati, it doesn’t exist (smile)
    Keep on frying those ideas … I keep seeing the unimaginable!

    I might start using techorati to check if other sites have mentioned a site, now that there’s a bookmarklet that doesn’t open new windows.
