Technorati is Borked - Not Only Right Now.
Blogging May 14th, 2008
There’s nothing new or unexpected in this Technorati Monster screen:
In fact I see it so often, it feels like a standard Technorati feature. Perhaps it’s time to remove “right now” from the title. Technorati is borked. (period)

They’ve been borked a long time. I quit going when I saw they got confused and think there are two SmoothSpan blogs. They’ve never fixed that despite several inquiries on my part. It shows a fundamental DB architecture problem that’s pretty deep seated. When one object can suddenly become two over a very long period (permanently, apparently), it shows your cache has taken over in a bad way.

That’s a standard Trati feature, too
I was back over there the other day for the first time serious in years and I constantly got the same screen. Some things never change: Technorati has, and always will be broken.
I also hadn’t used it in ages. But I finally got round to item 5,000 on my to do list (item 4,999 was start writing the blog, a year after setting it up …), and thought I would claim my blog in Technorati.
And have spent all day trying every hour or so - but it has remained resolutely borked on 1 in 3 clicks.
Still, it thinks my URL is invalid, so even when unborked it’s not going to work …
Did you know you came no 2 in google’s serps for a search on ‘borked technorati’?!?
