Apparently technorati doesn’t even check if the key is there or not.

[...] this new move to Google providing your inbound links (via Blog Search), and Online Tech Tips, and Hack WordPress have already found a plugin to replace them in your dashboard with the Technorati links [...]

Stephen – Good question, and something I was wondering as well!

I would assume that because it doesn’t effect how WordPress functions at all, that may be there justification for not including it.

It is a big change, though, so it definitely should have been included. I have to believe that we will have an option in a future version of WordPress. If GBS improved their product it could be more relevant than Technorati, but at this time Technorati is a better measure of inbound links.

Hmmm, I switched this back by editing index-extra.php. But the main issue for me is – why isn’t a change of this magnitude mentioned in any of the main release notes or codex entries?

Garry – I think competition is healthy, but Google doesn’t grow complacent with their stuff like other companies do. I think there is a difference between Google and other companies in the past, but I agree that they should ideally have competition.

Jeremy – Wow, great! I wrote this post last weekend but it didn’t get published until last night. I will upgrade my plugin and update the above post!

Thanks for supporting your plugin and stopping by!

I should probably let everyone know the new version completely replaces the Google blog search functionality and it no longer requires an API-key. Apparently technorati doesn’t even check if the key is there or not.

If anyone has any feedback just let me know.

I like Google, don’t get me wrong… but I am almost sad to see this happen. In every aspect of business, sports or life in general.. we have GOT to have some form of competition. Again, I like Google, but man… they need competition and need it badly. I have been pulling for Technorati for a long time. And its sad to see them take the hit. For a long time, I thought Bill Gates was aggressive and just ruthless with crushing competition. But, Google is really starting to take the cookie.
