Technorati is now the first major example of the new trend in online search deemed “universal search.” In short they knocked down the category silos allowing users to search the breadth of social media(blogs, pictures, videos) in one search vs searching for a specific term individually in blog search, picture search and video search. This is also a major change in direction for Technorati as it becomes more of an overall social media search engine with less focus on pure blog search. You can read more on TechCrunch.

It was already happening before they changed to the Authority scheme, and this will accelerate it for sure. One thing I noticed (I won't even go to the ticker - if that last more than 24 hours, lots of people should lose their jobs) was that they've taken away the grouping of pics in what used to be the "Blog Directory" but now is just "Blogs", under the title "Blog using this Tag" - I liked that feature, helped with community, which beyond people trying to get their rankings higher, is why Technorati worked - it WAS a social networking site, and now it just seems like a waste dump.
