After commenting on Chris Brogan’s and Wedge’s blogpostings about technocrati, I’d better tell about my experiences here properly:
When I joined technocrati a few days ago I thought the fact they couldn’t identify me during my time being logged in was a temporary problem. When I later added the icon to my social bookmarks on schwindt-pr.com the same problem turned up again. And so it happened on every day ever since then…
Even while being logged in I still get this from time to time:
The profile is marked in the green bar on top but technocrati keeps telling me I don’t exist… If I click on my name a second time I suddenly appear as a member! But is that the way it’s supposed to work? I don’t think so…
What about the people who try to find me there and get the same notification?
Let me tell you: I DO EXIST THERE! And if it tells you I don’t, just try the second-click-thing! I AM THERE! (even if it takes 3 clicks to verify it – which is what happened when I wanted to make my proof-screenshot – ARGH!):
Even the snapshot preview on this blog show the “Sorry”-page when I hover over the link to my profile:
I noticed that technocrati also takes quite long to update the “Authorities”. But why? Is there too much traffic on there? Are they over capacity? Does anyone struggle with the same problems?
[...] problems that seem to affect others too, I don’t get why my number of subscribers is booming and my Technorati authority is lower [...]
Thanks for reminding me, Andrea! I checked again and now the “Sorry” page seems to be gone. Instead my snapshots of the technorati links in my blogpost show a “Forbidden” page.
Unfortunately I cannot read the content (too small) because when I click on them, I get to the normal profile page, see screenshot here…
It’s techno_rati not techno-c-rati! I’ve never realized that before Stephanie Booth told me!
Thanks Steph!
Hehe…yep… it’s sad to say but it seems that Technorati is going down. I’m surprised that nobody decided to step in yet with a new concept. This is without question a great opportunity for new startups…
Ciao!
Andrea
