Something Is Wrong with Technorati

When I first started researching company blogging for a former employer, Technorati was mentioned in almost every reference article. Now, their service gives me error screens regularly. Another one of my blogs will not claim in their system, and their support system is a joke. The forum is filled with users having the same trouble as I am and my help ticket came back with a canned response that basically said my blog will not claim.

Yeah, I know that. What’s my recourse?

Of course we all know that their authority figures are murky and unreliable, but I like numbers and measurable improvements. I still want to play. They just don’t seem to want me.

Since Technorati is free, this may be a case of you get what you pay for. While I can sympathize with the hardships of organizing the blogging world, in this day and age, technology that doesn’t meet user expectations quickly fall by the wayside.

Should I still pursue this issue or is Technorati no longer relevant? Any suggestions and opinions would be greatly appreciated.
