4 August 2007Technorati must be hosed
Addendum, 9 pm: Robert Gorell of GrokDotCom sees a perfect opportunity to bait links. Posted at 11:36 AM to PEBKACBask in it. It may be your only shot at glory. :) Posted by: unimpressed at 12:37 PM on 4 August 2007Shove over, pal, I got the same ranking today. :) I refuse to believe that it's a technorati glitch. Whoops! Yep, you caught us doing some maintenance. Obviously, you should never see that ( we work hard so that you don't see us sweat) but clearly we missed this one! Give us a little while, and everything should be back to its normal operations... Sorry, and thanks for pointing out the bug, it helped us to jump on it early... Dave Posted by: David Sifry at 3:58 PM on 4 August 2007As predicted by Andy Warhol Posted by: gail at 6:16 PM on 4 August 2007I think I've been hanging at 14:55 for rather a long time now. Per the repaired Technorati, I rank 21,977th as of this moment. Posted by: CGHill at 6:28 PM on 4 August 2007I'm not going to go check, I'm still cruisin' on the "I'M NUMBER ONE! I'M NUMBER ONE!" vibe. :D Posted by: aka_monty at 10:52 PM on 4 August 2007Silfry couldn't just let you enjoy it and say 'Hey you WERE number one for a second there'. It's no coincidence that he also never gets laid (at least according to the Technorati 'Who's-Getting-Some' meter).

Posted by: mike at 5:51 AM on 7 August 2007If I've learned anything over the years — and who says I have? — it's that the surest way to get Technorati on something is to invoke the sacred name of Sifry in an actual post or two, Sifry being for all intents and purposes the new Kibo.

There's no other way to explain "Rank: 1," unless Dave Sifry's trying out a new Rankness Index, an unlikely possibility at best. Still, I figured I ought to preserve this for posterity, since there's no way anyone's ever going to see this again unless I get much more proficient at Photoshop. At the time, the Top 100 button did seem to work correctly. (I'm guesstimating my actual Technorati rank to be around 23,000.)
