R.I.P. Technorati? August 17, 2007

Since the beginning of the blogging era Technorati has been among the best (if not THE BEST) blog search tools.
In recent months Technorati has changed its site and become increasingly irrelevant.
I had hopes that it would turn things around..but that now seems very unlikely.
You see David Sifry – the founding visionary of Technorati has left the building, quit, gonzo – outta here.
Without Sifry at the helm Technorati is a listless ship and one that will continue drifting in obscurity. It’s a sad day indeed. There is nothing wrong with Google’s blog search, i like it alot. But having Technorati as an independent and viable blog search tool was great to have.
Technorati is still alive – apparently – but it’s a shell of its former self.

Looks like a special 25th anniversary edition of Blade Runner is in the works.
BEST PART? Scene RESHOOTS!!
We’re not talking about Director’s Cut here where all they do is take out the bogus voice over narration. We’re talking about NEW footage.
At this stage we know only about one of the reshot pieces. Joanna Cassidy who played Zhora, one of the movie’s “replicants,” or androids confirmed on a blog post that she’s done a reshoot.
ZHORA of course has the awesome scene where Decker (Harrison Ford) shoots her and she goes crashing through all the retail windows.
No word yet on whether Harrison Ford is reshooting scenes too..but here’s hoping he is (and that this time the movie shows him to be the REPLICANT we all know he is!).
Just in case you don’t remember the scene….here it is:
