How would they do this? How can they transition from a rather snarky popularity ranking system to something of intrinsic value? Hmmm..... Yes, I'm still "tagging" but am dropping - I'm so over Technorati. Dont' see the value for me or my readers, given how wonky their tracking/ranking system is. “Relevant” – ah, that’s the trick, isn’t it? How would they do this?

Of course, it would have to write some of it's own content that folks link back to, and find a way to remain relevant and KEEP people linking back to them, but old habits die hard. Look at how many bloggers still use Technorati tags in their posts, and how many software programs have built in Technorati tags.
