Better Social Web Search, Please?

From Chris Brogan, re Technorati:

All the [site features] I wanted to use (mostly for searching about blogs, references to ideas, and my own blog’s stats) seems to have been hidden, bent, or watered down. Who are you courting, Technorati? Why aren’t you ours anymore? And where’s your successor?

It’s that last one that’s been on my mind for a long time. And more broadly: Can’t someone come up with a suite of topic- and reputation-monitoring and research tools for mining and tracking what’s happening on the social web that do not require the user to master hellaciously complicated routines? I kind of like hellaciously complicated, but I’m a freak that way.
