What’s up with Technorati? As a devoted follower of the Blogosphere and
\n our own position within it, the Dowbrigade regularly consults a number
\n of specialized resources; Feedster to find blogs posting on specific topics
\n of interest, the hit counters and referers lists built into Manila, our
\n Blog creation tool of choice, and Technorati to learn about our corner
\n of the Blogging universe and see who is linking to the Dowbrigade.<\/p>\n
But lately, Technorati is taking longer and longer between its periodic
\n sweeps to record and evaluate these links. Today, for example, the information
\n about the Dowbrigade on Technorati is almost TWO WEEKS out of date. We
\n realize the number of Blogs to be tracked is exploding, but is this really

\n it is completely mistaken.<\/p>\n
As someone who takes great pride in the regularity and consistent quality
\n of our postings, the Dowbrigade takes it as a personal affront and insult
\n being told that he has not been doing his Blogging for the PAST TWELVE
\n DAYS. It emotionally and almost physically hurts to see that condemnation
\n of our work habits and authorial responsibility in such a respected and
\n widely consulted source.<\/p>\n
Hey Dave! Our Blog is updated EVERY DAY, multiple times, and having Your service in invaluable and we know it means a lot to many bloggers. What’s up with Technorati?

\n you tell uninformed or curious users who took the time to check out the
\n posting
\n universe of the Dowbrigade that we have been flagrantly remiss to the
\n point of not being able to post ANYTHING for 12 days makes us angry and
\n hurt. At least change the text to read "This listing<\/strong><\/em> not
\n updated for 12 days" or "Last checked 12 days ago" or something.<\/p>\n
\n However, we don’t know how much longer we will be able to tolerate the
\n psychic beating we take every time we see those damning words "Blog last
\n updated.." We suspect we are not alone.\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
