Along with Mary Hodder, Dave will be providing real-time analysis of the political blogosphere for CNN at next week's Democratic National Convention. He looks forward to introducing the blogosphere to the 95% of the country who have never heard of it.
Dave discusses this announcement and gives us both social and technical insights into Technorati: "tracking patterns of influence and authority in real time." 140+ servers give Technorati a huge grid-computing system, and Dave explains how their technology is different from traditional search engines. On open-source software, "We wouldn't exist without it." He even goes deep into the Postgres/MySQL debate.
Don't miss next week's show (Thursday, July 29, 1pm Pacific) when our guest will be Dave Winer, live from the Democratic National Convention floor.
