More on Technorati: Search fixed

As you may have read some days ago, I was wondering if I should use Technorati here on my weblog anymore or not. It seems that most hick ups are gone right now. My latest postings appeared there already but the search I integrated lots of months ago was broken. Even though that searchlet has been released by Technorati long time ago it still is beta. And that means they can change the URL in it if they like without telling you.
You now are able to use the search form on the right again - until the URL for searching on Technorati will change again.

Technorati: Should I stay or should I go?

I still use the Technorati tags on each of my posts here (see below) and I still have the Technorati search included (to the right) but I noticed lately that Technorati does not seem to update my weblog regularly even though I ping them after each post I put online. And while searching my own site with the search box Technorati offers I noticed that I can't even find most read article on this site.
So, what is Technorati still good for? Maybe it's time to move on and leave Technorati behind. I wrote them an email asking what might cause this problem a couple of weeks ago but never got an answer. Maybe the guys from Technorati already did move on?

Come to Fraggle Rock

Today I took a look on my Google Analytics account, because I sometimes wonder if somebody still reads these pages. And there I get the info that on position four of the most used keywords to reach this weblog comes "fraggle rock". Fascinating, ain't it?
I didn't even remember that I wrote this back then, but now I've been reminded that I am still waiting for the release of the first Muppets' DVD set here in Germany.
I then - just for fun - used the above keywords in google and found this awesome wiki with lots of information about Jim Hensons' muppets and fraggles.
