I think what many of these web sites come down to is people trying to connect with other people who have similar interests. In our fast paced society where most people don't even know their neighbor, people are looking to connect with others. That is one reason MySpace is so popular, teens are making friends with other teens online.
The main reason I would use Technorati is to find people who are interested in similar pastimes so I can see what web sites, books, or stores they find useful and fun, since I may like them, as well. Technorati would be useful for finding out the "buzz" on current topics, too.
I keep thinking that someone needs to do a dissertation on the whole social web site phenomenon.
