  I suspect that there is something going on between Technorati and wordpress.com blogs using domain mapping (such as mine). I happened to check Technorati earlier today and noticed that neither my domain-mapped url nor my wordpress.com url had been updated for 2 days. So I did the manual ping thing for both. Checking a few minutes ago, I noticed that my wordpress.com url had been updated but my domain-mapped url had not been (now showing no updates for 3 days). Has anyone else noticed this?

  Haven’t blogged in a couple of days, so I am not sure. I might just post something to test this out ;)

  I just figured it out – wordpress has screwed up my domain mapping. I’m marking this thread resolved and starting a new one.

  I’ve been manually pinging Technorati for quite a while. Sometimes it updates quickly, other times, days. I pinged this morning and again not quite an hour ago and neither post is showing yet. I don’t know what’s been going on.

  See my other thread. In my case, my domain doesn’t exist for Technorati right now.

  There are weird problems with Technorati. When I checked it last night it showed my latest post, the one TWO before that, and then nothing for fifteen days.

  FYI Technorati appears to be busted again. For now, I am manually pinging not only my own blog, but also all WP.com blogs where I leave comments. If you appear in the Recent Comments widget and Technorati crawls the blog while your name is displayed there, it counts as a link to your blog. I don’t make up the Technorati-profile-pimping facts, I just report them.

  But normal Pingomatic as installed at WP.com doesn’t appear to be properly connecting with Technorati, so try doing manual pings on their ping page:
