Tuesday? New Technorati Strategy
As you can read in a number of different places this morning, Technorati — the ailing blog-search engine that recently lost its CEO, Dave Sifry — has come out with a new offering known as Technorati Topics, which appears to be a scrolling list of blogosphere posts chosen by the team at Technorati, based on a bunch of criteria that we aren’t really told a lot about.
Does Facebook Really ‘Cost Businesses Dear’?
I don’t have a Facebook account. At least, not yet, as I have mentioned in another blog post I shared over here not so long ago. But from that to say "[…] sites such as Facebook could be costing firms over £130m a day" is a bit of an over-reaction.

Ask City Draws Up Map Embedding
Users of Ask City can whip out their drawing tools, select an area on a map, search for a relevant business or event, and embed that map on their sites or blogs.
Technorati Touts Topics
A new feature from blog search site Technorati offers a Fark-like tabbed organization of topics as relevant posts arrive.
LookSmart CTO Follows CEO Out Door
I’d be surprised to see a single boulder fall; one would expect some other rocks to accompany it. And now, in a business sense, that expectation has come true; about five weeks after LookSmart’s CEO resigned, the company’s CTO has followed suit.
