It's not easy running such technology behind the scenes, even with the latest hardware because blog search engines, unlike Google, have to update their data continuously.Google has <a href="http://www.seochat.com/googledance/" rel="nofollow">Google dance</a> which comes by every week or so and does its jig. Technorati on the other hand is hit constantly by blog posts, and it has to sort and share this data almost real time. It's a different ball game.For instance, last week with the London bombing, the traffic exploded, taxing the Technorati system. Instead of the usual 800,000 new posts, Technorati was on track yesterday to process 1.2 million of them. It'll be a pain ever for a Yahoo or Google to figure that out.
