Help us celebrate 1 Billion Links tracked!
10This Thursday, March 31, 2005, Technorati will host a user salon to bring together Technorati staff and users for face-to-face discussions. The event will take place at Chevys at 3rd St. and Howard St. in San Francisco (maps and directions below).
We will deliver a short presentation about what is new in the blogosphere, including some new stats. The world of weblogs has been through a lot of change in the ten months since our last user salon last May. We would like to bring together the community to have a conversation about the last few months in the world of weblogs and discuss how Technorati may be of service in the future.
We’re also approaching the milestone of a Billion links tracked in the Technorati database. as of this writing, we are at 990,172,347 links tracked, and at this rate, we’ll hit 1 Billion links before the end of the week. Come and celebrate with us the amazing growth of the Blogosphere. We’re also planning some fun stuff, more to come in the next post.

So let me get this straight…
The more tacos and beer we consume, the more it benefits open source? Fantastic! In that case, I cede my spot to someone with a larger appetite, for the cause.
Congrats Dave and the Technorati gang!

1 Billion Links To Where?
I must congratulate T for thier great success but we have recently noted how commercial advertisers are hijacking the system and spawning hundreds of fake blogs to advertise their products. One term we recently used gave us 7 pages of ‘spam blogs’ before we found any real ones… We asked your press office to comment but we got no reply.
Will you be discussing how Technorati will be dealing with what must be a growing trend??
Cheers,

Dave,
Jumping on a plane and flying 9,000 miles is out the question as much as I’ve enjoyed watching you eat in the past
I am happy however to shout some alcohol or a donation so get in touch.
