What the hell happened to Technorati? Anybody have any idea?

Well, they built this great product, amassed a number of extremely smart engineers, and then nobody would give them any money for their efforts (by acquiring them, presumably). So they played CEO roulette for a while, their most senior engineers left, and they relaunched with a service that nobody wants and doesn't work besides. And now Google Blogsearch has eaten their lunch.
So yeah, they're done. I'm extremely sorry to see it -- they had a great service, and I met a bunch of their engineers at last year's SXSWi, all of whom were very smart and nice. But it's been a long time since that site worked properly for me.
