Dave Sifry and Niall Kennedy commented on the piece I wrote earlier today about the apparent 7+ day lag in updating Technorati rankings. In NIall's own words:

Hi Stowe, Thank you for alerting us to this problem. Our ranking data updates every night but has not been updating over the past few weeks. I tracked down the problem, fixed it, and updated all rankings. Get Real currently has a Technorati blog rank of 3,351.

Technorati currently identifies Get Real's last update as 3 hours ago, which is consistent with your current posts.

Looks like it is updating very frequently, now: I checked a few minutes ago, and Get Real was ranked at 3,349. I wrote earlier this year that Technorati rank should be constantly going up and down, based on link counts changing all over.

I hope the Technorati apparatus keeps on working: I have come to depend on it, and I really want immediate updates of tags and Cosmos information. they have become a mainstay of how I wander around the blogosphere.
