Welcome news on Danwei today of Technorati's announcement of a partnership with public relations firm Edelman which will see an increase of the blog aggregator's services to include five new languages. While Chinese is one of the languages on the list, a focus on mainland users brings with it some problems, writes Danwei blogger Jeremy Goldkorn:

“Technorati‘s website is blocked in China, so they will have to come up with a new solution for the PRC if this new product is based on data from their public access blog search engine.”
