Update: Scott for Blogcosm clarifies some misunderstandings :
Our approach to analyzing blogs is different than anything we’ve seen. (There’s no shortage of interesting software opportunities; I’ve never been one to create “me too” products or sites.) Because we tackle fewer blogs, we can afford to provide more information about each.

According to Zoli (with hat tip to Techcrunch), blog search engine Technorati is silently scaling back its index and only returning results from the last six months:
The only time-limit I’m aware of is calculating Authority, which is based on the revolving 6-month link-counts, but I haven’t found any reference in Technorati’s FAQ to the “shelf-life” [...]
Louis Gray has been on a roll lately, and today he is talking about “Who Can Build an Inverse Technorati.”
Here is what he is looking for:
1. Provide aggregate reports on how many internal and external links were created, and in how many posts, over a given period.2. Provide a ranking of the most-frequently linked-to sites [...]
Technorati, everybody’s favorite blog search engine, has changed some of its layout and wording today. What used to be “x number of blogs link here” is now called authority.
On Fri. May 4th, we updated Technorati.com to include the Technorati Authority for blogs listed on the Blog page and in search results. This update changed the [...]
The newest meme to come out of the dirty underbelly of blogging (=PayPerPost/ReviewMe/RentMyBlog/PayU2Blog etc.) is the Technorati Train.
HomeMom3 here has jumped on it.
Basically, it is a system that games the Technorati Most Favorited List. Why does this make a difference? Because it games a good system, just like the fact that all the PayPerPost bloggers [...]
Just keeping track… Still no answer from Technorati either. If JetBlue can get customer service right, shouldn’t a Web 2.0 company be able to match them on that front?

It’s been six days now since Technorati last indexed this site. I filled out a support request, but no answer so far…
How have we come to rely on such an unreliable service?

My listing on Technorati hasn’t been updated for four days now, which is getting pretty frustrating. All my feeds validate and Technorati even shows that the blog was updated, but it doesn’t seem to index any of the new posts.
For a blog like this one here, technorati referrals are the second most important source of [...]
Scoble has an interesting post on where blog traffic is coming from. I find it interesting that Technorati and the other blog search engines hardly drive traffic at all. Given how many of the new Web 2.0 startups are heavily invested in searching blogs, one has to wonder. It is encouraging, though, that this guy [...]
