This is the third time since I started blogging in July that I’ve gotten that irritating “sorry” message with sad face from Technorati. Is my blog really “under review”? Are latex leggings and Anne Boleyn controversial? Perhaps my desire for fish feet is in such bad taste that I’ve been singled out for the sad face! Damn you, fish haters! Today, I read in the New York Times that David Sifry, the founder of Technorati, likes to monitor his own blog mentions and comment back. David, please come here and explain yourself! Change me from a harsh critic to an evangelist! Until David Sifry turns up, you other bloggers who have experienced Technorati problems are free to vent here.
It’s a little-known fact that Munch painted The Scream while dealing with Technorati.

That is sooooo ridiculous – honestly. Technorati is so frieking slow anyways!!

I stopped using technorati after i never saw results of new blog readers from that.

Oh what does that mean when technorati does that? I signed up with them a while back but I’m not quite sure how it works, I don’t think I get new blog readers from them either, there are too many web pages out there!
Valley Girl says
I read that article, too. =)
What does “under review” mean?
WendyB says
You don’t get ANY new readers from Technorati, just info on who is linking to you, so the usefulness is VERY limited. I would give up on it except it’s just the principle of the thing at this point!
Carolina Lange says
Technorati is no very usefull.

What’s the principle of it?
Wendy, once more you’ve made me laugh on a Monday morning. A rare feat you seem to unknowingly excel at!
riz says
what are good replacements for technorati?? does anyone know – what’s digg and delicious or whatever – I’m so not tech savvy as you can see.
WendyB says
^^I don’t know…I see so many people signed up for all these things, and once in a while I sign up too but then I feel overwhelmed by all these things that I’m not sure really DO anything.
jennine says
oh dear.. technorati is the only way i have to keep track of who is linking to me… but other than that.. i don’t know… they have always responded well to me for some reason, but that’s probably because i know somebody who knows somebody at technorati, and he thinks i’m an odd bird.
