When Technology Goes Bad

article written by TW.

Comically, it seems Technorati has died a death again this weekend. This is becoming a regular occurrence now (read through some of the posts here about it) and, given the nature of the industry in which Technocrappy wants to compete I really did think they would try harder. It seems they don’t.

Still, I am as fickle as the next person and more than happy to bask in the temporary brilliance of their current mistake. It seems that, today, this blog is ranked Number 1 in the world. If you don’t believe me, have a look at this screenshot:

As you can see, this is recent and we are, indeed number 1 in the world :-) Sadly, I am not convinced this will last for long… (Check out the ranking yourself and see if has reverted to our normal, low, position) [tags]Technorati, Page Rank, Technorati Rank, Technorati Monster, Technology, Bad Technology, Web Service, Web 2.0, Social Web, Blogs, Blog Aggregators[/tags]

    It’s easy to explain… you received the famous “Evolutionary Middleman” BUMP! It happens wherever I post!

    From technorati:
    We’re doing maintenance on our ranking system. Some numbers may be out of whack for a few hours.

    Pity .
    But then it’s also lost every single inbound link and seems to rendered us marginally less authoritative than we were yesterday (maybe they read a post and made some harsh judgements…)

    I wonder if this “maintenance” will restore authority to blogrolls……….
