So, while all of our infrastructure work progresses and our backend search and infrastructure engineers are busy upgrading and scaling the service, Technorati's front-end designers and developers cooked up a fun new feature: Technorati Blog Finder.

Blog Finder helps answer the question, "How can you find authoritative blogs on a subject?"

Derek Powazek posts about Blog Finder on the Technorati Weblog. My favorite feature is that it allows you, the blogger, to tag your blog, and add yourself to the categories that you want to be listed under. We've made some educated guesses based on how people tagged their posts over the last 6 months - and over 2 million blogs are already included in the index, but now you have the power to add yourself to the directory in a few simple steps.
