Peter here. My blog URL is:</p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034/http://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com</a></p> <p>Ten days ago I posted, pointing out that neither manual ping nor auto updating was working, and asking for a manual update of my blog. This was done, for which my thanks.</p> <p>However, since then, no updates whatsoever have happened, either through manual ping (which I do every time I post to my blog) or through your auto update service. I must therefore request another manual update, please.</p> <p>Furthermore, what is wrong with ping/update at the moment? From the flood of complaints, it's clear that the entire system seems to be broken. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I'd appreciate any explanation you could provide, as well as an indication of when the problem will be fixed.</p> <p>You should know that word of this is spreading throughout the blogosphere. I saw a reference only a few days ago to Technorati now being 'utterly unreliable' as an indicator of a blog's standing. I'd hate to see this become a reality. I hope something is being done to fix the problem.</p> <p>Many thanks.</p> <p>Peter </p></div> </div> </div> </li> <li id="post-19449"> <div class="inner"> <div class="threadauthor"> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034/http://technorati.com/profile/DaisyDeadhead">DaisyDeadhead<br/><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034im_/http://static.technorati.com/progimages/photo.jpg?uid=695393" width="64" height="64"/></a></p> </div> <div class="threadpost"> <div class="poststuff"> <p class="post-topic">Requesting manual update, and an explanation, please</p> <p>Posted: 2008-12-26 06:40:57</p> <a href="#post-19449"></a> </div> <div class="post"><p>This is my tenth message, multiple emails, multiple pings, for 12 days now.</p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034/http://daisysdeadair.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://daisysdeadair.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>Could you at least explain WHY? </p></div> </div> </div> </li> <li id="post-19451"> <div class="inner"> <div class="threadauthor"> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034/http://technorati.com/profile/lupe">lupe<br/><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034im_/http://static.technorati.com/progimages/photo.jpg?uid=442445" width="64" height="64"/></a></p> </div> <div class="threadpost"> <div class="poststuff"> <p class="post-topic">Requesting manual update, and an explanation, please</p> <p>Posted: 2008-12-26 07:00:22</p> <a href="#post-19451"></a> </div> <div class="post"><p>technorati is down, crashed, dead.<br/> no answers, no pings, no authority-updates, nothing at else. </p></div> </div> </div> </li> <li id="post-19454"> <div class="inner"> <div class="threadauthor"> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034/http://technorati.com/profile/AdrienneJ">AdrienneJ<br/><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034im_/http://static.technorati.com/progimages/photo.jpg?uid=1303543" width="64" height="64"/></a></p> </div> <div class="threadpost"> <div class="poststuff"> <p class="post-topic">Requesting manual update, and an explanation, please</p> <p>Posted: 2008-12-26 10:49:54</p> <a href="#post-19454"></a> </div> <div class="post"><p>Like everyone else, I would love an explanation for what's happening - have asked nicely for one many times - and some idea when there will be a return to reliable updating of both posts and authority.<br/> I eagerly await some news<br/> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034/http://adriennerewiimagines.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://adriennerewiimagines.blogspot.com</a> </p></div> </div> </div> </li> <li id="post-19457"> <div class="inner"> <div class="threadauthor"> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034/http://technorati.com/profile/aluaflutua">aluaflutua<br/><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034im_/http://static.technorati.com/progimages/photo.jpg?uid=1409513" width="64" height="64"/></a></p> </div> <div class="threadpost"> <div class="poststuff"> <p class="post-topic">Requesting manual update, and an explanation, please</p> <p>Posted: 2008-12-26 14:37:46</p> <a href="#post-19457"></a> </div> <div class="post"><p>please update my blog </p></div> </div> </div> </li> <li id="post-19500"> <div class="inner"> <div class="threadauthor"> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034/http://technorati.com/profile/bayourenaissanceman">bayourenaissanceman<br/><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204062034im_/http://static.technorati.com/progimages/photo.jpg?uid=985343" width="64" height="64"/></a></p> </div> <div class="threadpost"> <div class="poststuff"> <p class="post-topic">Requesting manual update, and an explanation, please</p> <p>Posted: 2008-12-28 20:31:12</p> <a href="#post-19500"></a> </div> <div class="post"><p>I posted this on December 25th.
