It seems that Technorati has finally succumbed to Twitter. While they are still kicking, they seem to have lost the throne of having been the biggest blog search engine to Twitter, the new micro blogging kid on the blog.

In the past, when webmasters wanted to have new updated blog content, a short visit to Technorati quickly revealed whispers of the blogosphere. The inbuilt WordPress feature of incoming links was also cool as it allowed blog owners to thank the person who linked to them via a comment on their blog.

I always tried to stay up to date and show courtesy where it was applicable but lately I noticed a standstill in my Dashboard and wondered whether everybody had stopped linking to me. By the way, I’m still running the pre-WordPress 2.5 version and then it was Technorati links that show up in your Dashboard.

In the new versions it is Google blog search links that show within the admin. So noting the standstill I realized that people still linked to me but it would no longer show within my WordPress dashboard.

Not knowing why, it was made all too clear when Mashable posted an entry titled Twitter Killed Technorati, Too. By then it all became clear and after checking the Twitter search engines mentioned on their blog I realized that Technorati indeed seems to have lost some of their previous oomph.

One of the major reasons why I haven’t upgraded yet was because of the nifty Technorati feature, but seeing what I do now there is no holding me back to upgrade once and for all.

What about you? Have you noticed a change in Technorati too?
