Technorati's about eight days behind indexing my blog. It grabbed one post. (Yeah, don't bother explaining to me how they use RSS and get updates directly in real time. They're dragging...test your own sites).
The analog for this is coefficient of drag. The more RSS catches on, the slower Technorati becomes and more drag is introduced in the system.
If it takes eight or more days for someone's watch list to trigger, the conversation becomes increasingly irrelevant.
The so-called fluid conversation of the web analog ignores the effect of coefficient of drag.
Maybe Google is working on this problem?
Maybe an opportunistic VC should throw some money at Technorati for a band-aid quick fix and then pitch Google to buy the company.
I'll go ahead and toss in a link to http://www.sifry.com/alerts/ . There's no danger that David Sifry will see his watch list trigger before this post has decayed beyond it's useful conversational lifetime.
I probably should have linked Brad Feld again to build the street cred. Oh well, opportunity wasted.
