I've never really "gotten" it. I've always kept quiet about this, since it seems to betray that I'm a "hick" blogger who doesn't know how to really play. :) I’ve never used Technorati, no, not even once.

I know you guys are having a rough time of it and I am hopeful things will improve soon. I am hanging in there but only just, and like I say I have had to remove a couple of things due to their not working quite right. <br/><br/>Cheers,<br/>Snoskred Ian - Forest Parks made the icon, there’s a link to his blog in the article. ;)

Well done! I wanted to check and see if anyone faved me, I had 19 people who had faved me when I posted this. However, Technorati won't load pages right now. It does load some quite annoying flashing ads, though.<br/><br/>Kirsten - Unfortunately some of the pay to post and link ad sites use Technorati rankings to assess your blog. Sad but true. However that is not the only reason it is mildly important to me. I hate to see something with such promise in the toilet bowl, struggling not to be flushed. ;(<br/><br/>Thanks for the comments all! ;)<br/>Snoskred Lynne - It is very interesting to read a few blogs that talk about the behind the scenes at these net companies. ;)

I’m happy with Google Reader. Thanks for the rec.

And much happier without all the Technorati frustration and nonsense.

In addition to all the favorite and lack of favorite update problems you describe, I suffered the rank problem that prompted you and Sephy to write these great posts…thanks!

I have lost 100 authority points and watching that number tumble was confusing and disheartening as I watched my traffic and comments increase.

So buh bye Technorati. Happy days are here again.

I'm on there, somewhere, but it never did anything for me, at least in the way of fun, so I never pursued it. Hm, I so rarely visit Technorati or track my stats/traffic from it, so I’m clueless.
