It seems obvious that Technorati rankings are not reliable today. My blog’s new rank is calculated as 11,695. The previous rank was 16,098. Even though I am glad to see 11,695 as my new Technorati rank, I also know that it can’t be true.

I checked the blogosphere, but could not find any evidence that Technorati changed thei

I'm subscribed in almost 100 sites, following their daily report. In most cases I enjoy the content they provide. But sometimes I notice blogs - actually problogs - which publish bad quality posts in a really user-unfriendly design.
