This post is titled "things I want to like about Technorati" because it is about my love-hate relationship with Technorati. All the cool features I just really want to be a part of but which don’t work for me.

Technorati, I want to like you for…

• picking up my tags, even when you don’t for weeks on end
• updating my ping, when you seem to forget who I am
• claiming my blog in your oh-so-simple new process involving nothing more than my username and password, even when you stall and cannot be made to work manually
• recognizing the URLs of blogs I try to claim
• answering my support emails in under a month’s time
• updating my picture in my profile after the 6th try

For some reason, I hit odd problems with Technorati. Like my inability to change my profile picture or to claim certain blogs. No reason I can see to run into errors, but there it stands.

What do you ‘want’ to like Technorati for?

Here’s one thing I do actually like Technorati for… their new charts. And they work!
