Note: This site might seem inactive… That’s because it is. Don’t worry though, I’m still coding webpages and stuff! If you’re interested, I suggest you get a translator and head over to Qiwi; or you could just check the latest site we’ve been working on: Apotheek Goethals – Debrabandere. Enjoy!

Technorati Problems

Don’t pay attention to the following: … Alright, you can continue reading now :)

What the fuck is Technorati?, you say. In their words:

Technorati provides search and notification services for active content on the World Live Web™. We monitor over 1.8 million sources (weblogs, RSS) with over 10,000 new sources added each day, all with a median index update time of under 9 minutes. We tell you what’s being said, right now, about every web page that has something worth talking about.

When you do a search on a URL or keyword, Technorati™ lists all the people linking to that url and what they are saying about it.

All this sounds good huh? Sadly, their shit doesn’t work. They claim it should only take an hour, maybe a day but they never seem to receive my goddamn pings!

    Great looking site. Hopefully your ping to Technorati works, I never could get it to work for my site.

    Good luck with everything!

    Interesting. Very interesting. And I like the new backgrounds… I should really make it a point to visit more often than just to read your content via RSS.

    Love to hear you say that, Luke. In case you wondered how I feel about RSS:

    To quote Jeffrey Zeldman:

    Q: If you offered an RSS feed, I could read your stuff without visiting your site.

    A: If you stored your groceries on the sidewalk, we could eat your food without sitting across the table from you.

    I completely agree with this, and personally I don’t use any feed at the moment. Maybe some day I will, but for now I don’t see the point.

    Of course it won’t do harm offering a feed on your site, for those who want it.

    Waarom neem je dan gewoon geen andere server als je met deze last hebt??

    I haven’t got any troubles with this server, it’s just the Technorati pings that don’t work. Beyatch!

    Technorati seems to work very well for a whole lot of people. Maybe it’s your shit that isn’t working?

    Finally got my blog claimed on Technorati!

    Had to finally email their support team.
