I agree, the new Technorati is very nice. The content areas, navigation, markup, everything is good. I did not know the Beta was completed, cool stuff.

While I am not one to knock anyones designs, this one just does not do it for me... I would love to see a bit of differentiation with the rounded boxes... I like the ABOUT page better than the home or any other on the site.

Lori:
I agree the frontpage does look kind of cluttered and even unappealing. But like you, I browsed the rest of the site, and there are certainly elements to this design that are nice.

I do agree - there are many good elements - for me it is really only the so much rounded (the content boxes, side boxes and navigation tabs)... But as I said, I don't like knocking other designers - we all rely the opinions of other professionals to improve our work ;)
