Technorati -- a service that I use all the time -- is still lagging in its updates, but seems to catch up periodically. I have stopped watching it daily, but I noted that Get Real was stuck at "360 links from 241 sources" for over a week, even though new links were piling up. Today I noticed we had shot up to "397 links from 264 sources" (and incidentally, broke the 3,000 mark: 2,961 -- note that we were above 8,000 at the start of the year).

Still I have to report that I recently stumbled upon another bug, which the nice folks there responded to almost immediately. Apparently, in the original design of Technorati, they decided that no one would have URLs longer than 127 characters. I recently discovered this when I created a post with a long title (A Conversation with James Surowiecki: The Perils and Promise of Collaborative Tools), and was looking to see who had referenced it at Technorati. When I clicked on the link, it didn't work.

Turns out, Technorati has fixed this limit in a new database schema, but older accounts have not all been transitioned to the new schema. Get Real has now been migrated over, supposedly, to the new schema, and this was to cure this bug. However, when I looked today, the same behavior takes place: the link is still truncated. Adam Hertz told me it was just a caching issue, on June 1, but here it is June 3, and it hasn't yet been updated.
