I'm with Landon...T'rati is very tiresome. I try a search on it every so often and the results are not remotely helpful. They are either old, in a foreign language or spam. And the design makes my eyes bleed with all the loud colors, obnoxious ads and horrible real estate usage. The microformat stuff is interesting but certainly not grounds for investment.
