Technorati, the world first blog search engine has decided to capitalize on the power of Twitter to launch its own version of Technorati on Twitter and hence the name of Twittorati has been assigned to it. The website works relatively in same manner as the classical version of Technorati but the only difference is that instead of blogs, it features Twitter updates of top bloggers.

According to ReadWriteWeb:

The service allows users to view the links most tweeted as well as displaying Technorati’s original concept of showcasing the internet’s top trafficked blogs and content from its contributors. One interesting component of the site is the fact that users can view the pictures shared by today’s Twitter and blogging elite.

While the community’s words may be articulate and cohesive, the world’s top rated bloggers prove themselves to be a fairly average bunch of human beings. You’ll notice the majority of the photographs feature blurry crowds at networking events, office furniture and gooey plates of food.

With a catchphrase like, “Where the Blogosphere and Twittersphere meet” it will be interesting to see which sphere will hype the service more. Some of the featured bloggerati include ReadWriteWeb’s Richard MacManus, Huffington Post Editor Arianna Huffington and Zen Habits founder Leo Babauta.”

However, i am wondering if it is justified to include same top bloggers in the list which they have on Technorati? I would ideally go for top Twitter users instead of twitter accounts of top 100 bloggers. The list might include a lot of bloggers but it might make Twitter a separate medium like blogging instead of just being a complimentary service to the orignal Technorati.

What do you guys think about this? Do you think the current version of Twittorati has potential to achieve succcess to the scale  of Technorati or will it be just that Technorati is getting a bit obsolete without these new mediums like Twitter etc?
