The people behind Technorati just launched a major refresh to www.technorati.com.

Some nice things to mention:

1. They listened to the crowd, and really did something with the feedback they received
2. Their search is fast! As fast as Google is
3. Great design! Simple,effective and intuitive
4. Now you can search for blogs, video, photos, podcasts, music, games, events, etc…
5. 80 million bloggers are helping to make Technorati even better
6. This is not only about UGC (User Generated Content) it is also User Contribution, not only the blog articles, but also feedback to Technorati, tagging, etc…
7. over 11.7 Million people last month visited Technorati
8. It is also the details that counts, so,Technorati decided to shorten some urls, for example http://search.technorati.com (for blogsearch only), the community told them this url is too long, so they shortened it:http://s.technorati.com/
9. Searches are better than Google and Windows Live Search
10. Only 45 people are working at Technorati….!
