Technorati adds authority slider and who cares

There was so much talk about the authority slider on technorati yesterday.  And really who cares?  Sure a few people seem to think that it’s a good idea.  I have to admit that I don’t see the point.  It’s useless.  I agree with Stowe Boyd on this one.  If Technorati updated the links on a regular basis, then it might become more useful.  As it stands though, Technorati hasn’t updated the links in at least 5-6 days.  Stowe feels that his rank is about half what it should be.  I’ve added at least 5-6 links.

So right now, if I search based on authority, the numbers are all skewed anyways.  It’s a tool for the gatekeepers anyways. 😉
