Maybe they should offer an option to choose which one we want to use. I’m sure a lot of people will go back to using Technorati.

Google Blog Search didn’t even show me other blogs that were linking back to mine. I would go to Technorati and see at least 3 new incoming links and look in the admin area and just see my blog’s links. Not very useful.

My guess would be that perhaps the WordPress team had made a decision that Technorati was no longer relevant and filled with nothing but splogs and blogs who game the system. I found the Google Blog Search to be annoying because it showed me my own posts instead of incoming links. Thats why I ended up going back to the technorati deal.

[...] is now an even easier fix than the one that I wrote about before, for the Incoming Links in WordPress. This is a plugin that is supposed to allow you to see the links from Technorati [...]

I agree with you. I don’t know why anyone would want to see their own links. I have yet to see Google show me links from other people. Nothing against Google Blog Search, but it just doesn’t give me what I want.

The change seems dumb to me, given that the replacement is so abysmally bad at finding links from anything other than my own website.

The only thing I can think is some weird political reason…
