Button Button Who's Got The

That arbiter of all things web, Technorati, has clearly if silently declared it: microscopic is in.

No, really. Someone—someone who could have been spending his or her time on any one of the numerous bugs in the Technorati index that Improbulous so patiently blogs, month after bloody fuckin' month (year?)—has instead wasted god knows how much human energy designing, if that's not too overstating the fact, the ultimate in blog badges: you cannot read it, it has no style, why, the damn thing almost isn't there.*

It would be one thing, were this some earnest little startup—and it is quite another on the part of an outfit that has as if set out to annoy, overlook and otherwise alienate their free bread and butter, as has our dear Technorati. The name has always been genius, you've got to give them that.

Which has so many up and comings nipping at its heels ... and there really was hardly ever any there there in the first place ... but shh, don't say anything. It will be too fun to see this all play out.

Sorry you don't like the green button. We've re-added a larger Favorite Button which you might like better.

You can download the code snippet at http://www.technorati.com/account/favbuttons.html

Looks mighty familiar. Alot like the one I had to edit my template for when it disappeared a week or two ago.

Technorati has whims-we have lives.
