Technorati claims to be not out

Has anyone else had problems trying to claim a blog on Technorati lately? Well, it’s stuffed. So is my Adage Power 150 ranking & I thought it was me or my blog!

However, after weeks of failed attempts & firing off tech support tickets with no response. I finally noticed a small announcement on Technorati’s site that tells me its blog claiming feature has been disabled while they finalize claiming upgrades.

They say ETA is for Wednesday 24^th June 2009.

Jennifer McLean, VP of Marketing at Technorati blogged this statement:

It’s been a tumultuous month. For us – and unfortunately for you.

We’re sorry for the frustration and the less than great service. While not an excuse, here is the reason:

We changed co-location facilities. We, well the four members of our ops team, moved 1,000 servers and ALL of our real-time search infrastructure. Things are now returning to normal, although slower than we would have liked.

Looking forward:

We haven’t lost any data – so when things are back to normal your link counts and authority will be exactly where they should be.

We’ll follow up in more detail so you have information on exactly which services have been affected and how, and when they’ll be completely functional again.

Jen, we all feel your pain and so does my Adage Power 150 Ranking. So, from the bottom of my ranking, I hope you can work your magic and get it UP:)
