In the podcast I talk about some of the value-added by Technorati, such as the authority rating for blogs, based on number of links to a blog. I cover favorite lists and "watchlists" and why you might want to add your own blog to both of these.
The Technorati search engine is tailored to search the blogosphere, and I go over some of the advanced search features, and how to get the most from the search results.
If you are a blogger, you will want to make sure that Technorati knows about your blog and keeps up with your content. In the podcast, "pinging" Technorati about new content is covered.
Technorati developers and the community at large create helpful widgets that expand on Technorati services. For example, you can create a tag cloud for your blog, or add a news ticker. In the podcast I mention some of the widgets available on the Technorati site.

Very professional job on both your podcast and vidcast! How did you finish so quickly? Thanks for the great info about Technorati. I've been meaning to check this tool out for awhile.
