Lots of Technorati news today. Dave Sifry has released Part 2 of his State of the Blogosphere reports. Technorati now favors the A-List by allowing users to search by authority…if you are small blogger who gets lots of traffic from Technorati, I’d be afraid..very afraid. Niall Kennedy has quit Technorati (has he joined 9rules? that blog template has Scrivs and Rundle written all over it!). And last but not least:
TECHNORATI IS STILL BROKEN.
Not only is it not tracking The Blog Herald any more, its also not tracking a whole pile of other blogs I own in full, or part (at b5media), and with a whole pile of other people I know as well (sure, they are mainly B Listers, A Listers are too polite to comment on this stuff)….so everything else I hereby deem irrelevant :-)

    Since I got locked out and had to start over, I signed the new blog up with Technorati and was starting to recoup the lost links, then this hang-up happened. I got stuck at 13 links, even though I know there are many, many more.

    I hope they get it fixed soon.

    I know what you fellas mean. I started blogging again last month, and have posted about 70 times. About 3 show up on technorati. I gave up pinging them. I was not gettin any traffic from them anyways.
