Technorati is letting me down….

I’m bummed. As a practice of blog management, I always claim the sites I work with on Technorati. I have three that I’ve been trying to claim for over a month…first the embedding code was missing. I tried the “quick claim” option and emailed them with a question about the missing code. No response. Now when I try to go and claim blogs I’ve started the process with, I get a “Technorati is borked right now” screen..something about their missing monster.

I suppose this is an attempt to be cute when the site is down. Strangely, no other part of the site seems to be having an issue…so are they just not accepting new blogs? What’s going on?

I googled, “alternatives to technorati” and these are what I found. Apparently Technorati was having some issues that led to death rumors back in 2005…they seemingly did NOT die, if we are still using them today. But I’m not impressed. Take a look at what these articles offered; I gathered some helpful tips from them all.
