Well, this is an interesting one. Following on from the CoFaud problems mentioned in the last post here, where I was trying to search Google for a Windows service called CoFaud – but got no hits at all, I tried the search again today (after the web server reported Google had indexed the page) and still no hits.

Out of curiousity, I did a technorati search for the word CoFaud. Now, I know that the blog entry was in Technorati as it was there at the top of the list.

However, the search produced no hits. Even when I searched through my favourite blogs only, I still go no hits on CoFaud. When I went to the Why Dont You Blog entry page though, the CoFaud article is there at the top. It seems that for some reason, Technorati is not showing the proper results. Either it’s search engine is broken or they are manipulating the results in an underhand manner.

Whichever it is, it is wrong and it goes along way to reinforcing my beliefs that this obsession people seem to have with Web 2.0 and the “social net” is not a good thing.
