What Exactly Is the Deal with Technorati?	2006-09-09T10:56:02-04:00	/what-exactly-is-the-deal-with-technorati/	social software

This time last week, something on the order of 72 blogs apparently linked here; today, it’s 58. (I’ve also dropped from a nice, solid rank of 36,000ish to well into the 45,000 territory.) Does Technorati know something I don’t know? Am I losing my appeal? Or has their database/algorithm/little magic box with hamsters inside gone wonky? Or is the only problem here that I pay any attention to such things?

[UPDATE, like 30 seconds later: Wait — now it’s 57 blogs, leading to a rank in the 46,000s. Am I gradually disappearing, like in one of those time-travel movies where some paradox has just negated my existence entirely?]
