I did a few of these and have noticed no increased traffic as of yet.

Thank you very much for the mention.
While this may not move the needle for Top 100 who already have their own huge followings, we're hoping this will be a great opportunity for long tail bloggers to get their writing in front of a larger audience and bring their fresh, original voices to our pages. The tags that will be the most interesting may very likely fall outside of the top 100 tags - ideally a blogger will publish multiple tags across their niche and create some new tags of their own. If you check out BlogCritics you'll find the content far from marginal. We will be looking to them to apply the same standards here.

This feature will help Technorati get more content and traffic to their network and bloggers will also get benefit of it.

Have done 1 - for the spotify tag. Quite a fun new little feature but yeah we'll see where users and Technorati take it.

Technorati is very popular but it does not work well for me, infact others like stumble and mixx are able to generate good results for me. I will try out option mentioned here and hope this time i will be lucky

I't be good to have a section on your site called "How to get the Most out of!" pretty much something similar to TC's crunchbase

In some ways this is a good idea, but I think they are missing the mark a bit. A better model would seem to be forming niche communities like we are doing with sites like eLearningLearning.com and NonProfitTech.com. Then you can apply quality filters through various social signals that help to result in something way better than you get with tags:
In terms of quality of results there's no comparison. Maybe if they get huge adoption, they will get somewhere. I just don't see many bloggers adopting it as it stands.

I see the point of using the tags. I don't see the point of posting blurbs. Technorati adds a no follow tag to your blurb hyperlink and doesn't allow you to insert related anchor text. I see the blurbs as a way for Technorati to generate updated content. I don't see how the blurbs help the bloggers it all. Am I missing something? How do the blurbs help your blogs? Do the blurbs help generate more traffic to the tag pages? And if that is the case, wouldn't you need to be in the top of the tag page to make it worthwhile.

I should also mention, no follow tags can be really useful. You can use them to direct the flow of your page rank through your blog. Some pages shouldn't be ranked in search engines like your contact page. In that case, no-follow-tag all the links to your contact page.
