Technorati has had the error “The account section isn’t working properly at the moment. Please try back again later.” on their verify account link for the last couple of years. It’s never been fixed. I’ve tried weekly and gave up after a couple of months.

Technorati was difficult to use and monitor what was really happening with my blog A Week In The Life of A Redhead. It would be up, then down and the stats seemed to go all over the place without the feedback a blogger needs to have with regard to a site that is suppose to be stats driven. I get more from Stat Counter and Google. I gave up.

I decided to give Technorati one last try with a second blog 8 Women Dream and after 6 months of being registered Technorati still hasn’t ranked the site. I have left the tag up because the eight of us make fun of it at our meetings, “We must not exist if Technorati says so”.

I notice this weekend when I stumbled upon your post here that I can’t login to Technorati anymore. The message they are giving is ”
Oops, something went wrong The account section isn’t working properly at the moment. Please try back again later.” They also have a banner at the top that says “Notice: Maintenance May 9, traffic is split between 2 data centers and may be a bit slow now and then.”

I use Facebook, Twitter, Blog Catalog and Google blog search and have long left the dream of finding myself on any list at Technorati long ago. I don’t know anyone who understands who they are or what they do anymore and there was nothing about them at AdTech.

I did enjoy the Technorati corporate response here which made them look uptight, unhappy and out of touch.

What’s Been on My Mind…

Technorati lays off 10% (4!) of it’s workforce, TechCrunch reports it states the reduction is not due to a lack of growth – I’ll tell you what it’s due to for …

Slow news day here at TC again? Four Employees? OMG apply for a bailout ?

When a sole proprietor goes for a walk in the forest, has he laid off 100% of his work force?

As a blogger I try them at least once a year and I am always massively disappointed. They could just never get their stuff together it seems. I’ve always felt they would never be anything more than an over hyped & short lived internet buzz.

Yeah, but it is always easy to look back when you don’t take money. 2005 things were booming, they probably thought that things would continue to be on the rise. This probably happened in early 2005 and then all of a sudden things started to crash.

I hear what you guys are saying, however it is still not great that people are losing jobs all over the play. I wonder how the innovation and the rate at which people work on their own stuff changes during times like this. Would be an interesting stat to check out. The government should fund some technology guys to get stuff started and generate some jobs/cash flow generating.

According to Google Analytics and our internal counter, Technorati.com was
visited by 7.5 million unique visitors in February. More significantly,
while Technorati.com is a crucial part of our business, it is only one
component of a much larger business. Our network, Technorati Media, includes
more than 300 sites with over 80 million unique visitors and a billion pages
views of content on a monthly basis (according to Google Analytics), and
comScore ranked our network as the 3rd largest blogging property in
February. Our cooperative of bloggers and social media sites is clearly our
biggest growth area. That said, we also own and operate BlogCritics.com, a
news and reviews site and community of more than 3000 blog writers.

To address some of the comments, we’ve made significant improvements to the
Technorati.com
property this year:

@Patrick O’Malley: We’ve just overhauled and relaunched blog claiming
this week – the process should be pretty smooth from here on out.

We’ve added blog claiming for Twitter as well as the ability to auto
tweet any tag articles, blurbs or blog reviews you post to the site.

We’ve also launched a new spider too. This new technology is currently
re-indexing the blogosphere and has temporarily resulted slow updating the
past week or two. However, it has already cleared massive amounts of spam
from our index, delivering faster, cleaner search results.

I believe that technorati has alot to develop in order to keep up with the current web tendecies.

In times they where inovative and brought some sunshine to bloggers lifes but right now there’s hardly anything worth while in technorati that would make bloggers use their service as something relevant.

cuz no one really interested in a post about 4 ppl lose their jobs.

why don’t we track the number of high school kids leave their part time job @mcdonald everyday. that would be more impressing
