Currently tracking 112.8 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media.

Technorati is the recognized authority on what’s happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. We search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media.”

But it all started with blogs. A blog, or weblog, is a regularly updated journal published on the web. Some blogs are intended for a small audience; others vie for readership with national newspapers. Blogs are influential, personal, or both, and they reflect as many topics and opinions as there are people writing them.

Blogs are powerful because they allow millions of people to easily publish and share their ideas, and millions more to read and respond. They engage the writer and reader in an open conversation, and are shifting the Internet paradigm as we know it.

On the World Live Web, bloggers frequently link to and comment on other blogs, creating the type of immediate connection one would have in a conversation. Technorati tracks these links, and thus the relative relevance of blogs, photos, videos etc. We rapidly index tens of thousands of updates every hour, and so we monitor these live communities and the conversations they foster.

The World Live Web is incredibly active, and according to Technorati data, there are over 175,000 new blogs (that’s just blogs) every day. Bloggers update their blogs regularly to the tune of over 1.6 million posts per day, or over 18 updates a second.

Technorati. Who’s saying what. Right now.

The main difference between other social networking sites and Work Connexions is that we are transparent. You can see all the company information/products/blogs/etc without signing up. If you want to see business information on other biz sites than you have to sign up first before you can view the information. On Work Connexions we do not believe in that. We believe that businesses want to gain as much exposure as possible. Which is why our page views are much higher. As we provide W3C accessibility access to our site.

Other benefits included:

Increased page rank in search engines
Easier for people to find you and your website
Feedback and recommendations and forums

Our market is Businesses and Working professionals for our Wcx site. At present there is no social networking site that offers businesses this or the chance to interact with each other using Web 2.0 communication. Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc are all aimed at the individuals. While some of these social networking sites are used for business. We believe they are fatally flawed for business, in that they concentrate on the individual’s private life, and most professional people do not want to be exposed and interact in this type of environment.

Work Connexions has always been proud to publish different sorts of Articles, News, Marketing material – and we want that tradition to continue with our website. Only now we don’t just want your written contributions - we want your emails, pictures, audio files and videos too! Our website was designed with web 2.0 reader interaction at its heart. Many of our blogs will have the ability for you to add your comments at the bottom. Simple type your name and comments, hit ’send’, and your contribution will be published instantly.
