Twitter! Everyone wants a piece of it. Tomorrow, we’ve heard, blog search engine and ad network Technorati will unveil a new site called Twittorati: “where the blogosphere meets the Twittersphere.”
The site, which we haven’t seen yet, will show what top bloggers are tweeting about, and compare topics to blogosphere trends. The site will also, according to a press release we’ve seen, allow visitors to filter tweets by topic, see the most tweeted blog posts, and compare leading blogosphere and Twitter trends. It sounds like it may be somewhat similar to Federated Media’s Exec Tweets.
Technorati Top 100 bloggers will be featured at launch, and it will expand to include more authors over time. The site was produced in partnership with Sawhorse Media, publisher of Muckrack.com and VentureMaven. Infinity is sponsoring Twittorati.
More details when we actually see the site.
Update: Here it is.
didn’t we just have a problem with third-parties and naming conventions?
twitterati doesn’t sound kosher.
Yes, the proper name should be “tweeterati”
This twitter thing is getting waayyyyyyy out of control.
How did the name became such a fad?
Just like they did with Obama, the media made twitter popular.
At least it’ll hopefully be a good application: Blogs meets Twitter for news.
I like the sounds of it!
I guess Technorati is too late in this game. Already, we have tons of existing players in this space that are competing to be the real-time search engine. And companies like http://www.boil...gpage.com/music go one step further and creates “popular music” based on the listening behavior of people in twitter. While all these innovative companies around, it will be a hard nut to crack for Technorati.
Sounds cool… can’t wait to see it!
I think they’d better sort out their own current website before trying to take a piece of the Twitter action. Technorati is stilll awfully painful to use…
I’m not convinced, does anybody even use technorati anymore?
Bring it on!
errr, fail…
That’s cool. Technorati used to be the “trend” people on the web. I wonder if they can bring it back?
Top-notch move for technorati. I think the domain is outstanding since it will perform exactly what you think of when hearing twiterati.
this didn’t monetize for blog content. what makes them think this will monetize for twitter content?
insanity is characterized by the act of repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome each time.
Kudos to Marc Evans and his Twitterrati (two Rs, launched last october) which will certainly drain some traffic from Technorati’s new website
.
Your link to http://www.venturetweets.com seems to be broken
Does that mean Technorati will stop posting about Twitter?
technorati is bullsh*t. They cannot even rank which blogs are the top blogs per country
Twitter is like an infectious disease.
Some say that Twitter will become unpopular in a couple of years. Time will only tell.
The reason why Twitter might or is becoming “Unpopular” is because of all these pre-fixes. It is officially a fad now…… or getting there.
Who is blogging about ‘twittorati’? (link)
Awesome, I will jump on that shizzle tomorrow!
Unveil TwitterCrunch already and be done with it. Appoint Siegler the chief priest.
Any chance you can correct the spelling of Infiniti for me? :-\
technorati is grasping at straws… because they suck.
their service sucks, their ranking sucks, their search sucks.
That is a good application, I would love to use it. Let us see how it increase the ever growing demand of twitter for socializing. As it unveils twitter will serve more to what people want rather then what it can serve.

USourceIT your single source for all IT needs
Why does google assume they can just whip out a operating system because they thought of the idea?
You can’t just say “we’re coming out with a new operating system in 2010″ then also say “we’re going to need a lot of help in the open source community”
… Google, since you make a search engine, you obviously know how to make operating systems too.. why not even start building the computers?
IMO google needs to leave this failing half-baked idea behind and focus more in integrating google maps into 3d and google search goes 3d too
heeey techcrunch. i just noticed there’s no delete button for my comment placed on the wrong article.
me fail… this comment belongs to

Yet another company is integrating with twitter… Why does it seem the current formula for companies is mix what we do with twitter, and we will make lots of profit?
