I don’t know what’s up with Technorati. They don’t seem to pick up pings very quickly… not for links or tags- not for the little folk anyway. I stopped pinging them for the two of my blogs that aren’t updated frequently.

I linked to you in a post on one of them a day or so ago. You weren’t taking comments or trackback; I didn’t bother pinging Technorati. Thanks for that info, by the way.

Live Aid raised money, and consequently awareness; Live 8 was too good to do anything as tacky as raise actual money, they just wanted to be idolized while bitching. The acts will realize huge profits from sales, but only Pink Floyd is donating everything to Africa.

The ruination of music depresses me.

It’s not just me! Technorati and Live 8 hatred in one blog! I don’t know if this post is toppable. By anybody.

Seriously, the piety backdropped with the commercialism, or was the commercialism wallpapered with piety, hard to be sure … but argh!

I have a big problem with technorati, I know for a fact that sites that link to my blog are not counted. Such is life. They still suck.

I am not a fan of live 8, still from Robbie Williams to the end of the Hyde Park show (Williams, The Who, Pink Floyd, and McCartney) was entertaining. I am an old fogey at 36 I guess, but to see the Pink Floyd reunion was so big for me. I of course hate the goal of Live 8. The let us do the same thing over and over again and expect a diferent outcome plan just makes me ill.

Very witty blog you have here! I love the design also.

IMO, the only thing good thing about Live 8 was The Who. Considering only 2 original members of that band are still alive and they are both over 60 years old, that isn’t saying much.

Actually triple. Am speaking for Savannah, Toto and myself.

And we love the royal we. It’s so aristocratic.

Technorati: don’t get it. we get most things techie, but technorati and bloglines are beyond us we fear.

we like the royal we, and might adopt it for a while, at least in here. oh my, We do like it, though it makes us sound like that arrogant blogger (who shall remain nameless) who hates us because we spoke our mind one time too often. ah well…

we think the quality of music GENERALLY at the moment is so undescribably poor that there was really no surprise to us that live 8 was a total disaster, at least musically. as for the political messages, we are not sure the representatives chosen to convert us were those best suited to the job.

fianlly: your party sounds wonderful, we wish we could go to parties where people had conversations, and didn’t just get drunk….. alas we live in the wrong country…

A quick note of empathy: Technorati sucks.

It’s picky in how it accepts pings via its RPM. It takes too long to update. And the new design is ugly. It’s too slow. And it often picks the *worst* things to read when you search.

Google should buy them and reinvent their processes.
