Looking through public referrer logs like for this weblog and for high traffic blogs with public referrer logs like Scoble, Crooks and Liars, Roland Piquepaille's Technology Trends I don't see any of the same spam. I wonder what the difference is? 2:50:50 PM        comment []    Technorati and Ping-o-Matic So what is with these services? More than 50% of the time I get this response for searches at Technorati: Sorry, we couldn't complete your search because we're experiencing a high volume of requests right now. Please try again in a minute or add this search to your watchlist to track conversation. And Ping-o-Matic seems totally baked (and has been for the last couple of days) -- ping submissions seem to go off to the ozone and stats are "disabled". 11:20:12 AM        comment []    © Copyright 2008 Brian Sullivan.
