Is something screwy with Technorati?
If you are a blogger, you use the blog search engine Technorati to communicate with other bloggers. In theory, whenever you post your servers "ping" Technorati to come and register your new outbound links. There is also a manual feature so that you can ping Technorati if it has not come automatically.
Well, much to my irritation Technorati has not pinged this blog automatically or in response to a manual poke in the last four days. If I were not otherwise of great equanimity, it would drive me bonkers. Anybody else having that problem?

Yes. According to a friend, Drudge has a report earlier this month that the company may have some financial problems. I don't know if the assertion is accurate. But many companies have money problems these days. (Thank goodness most of my customers are governments outside the U.S.)
Hopefully everything will work out. Technorati offers a valuable service.

P.S. Make that "had a report," not "has a report."

Yes, Technorati's been having this problem for some time now. Not sure what's happening and what they're doing to fix it.
