Technorati: All Your Blogs Are Belong to ShoeMoney?

May 23, 2007 by Chris Winfield | Foo

I knew that Technorati was making some major updates today. But I was bit surprised to see that ShoeMoney had taken over control of all of the recent blogs that had linked to 10e20:

Technorati Link Search

According to Technorati, ShoeMoney (Jeremy Schoemaker) not only runs his own blog but also melange, Neil Patel’s new blog and even Bruce Clay’s…. :)

Update: This looks to be a bug with all of the images in the first 5 listings for all blog posts.  For example, look at what Technorati is showing for Bruce Clay’s recent links:

Technorati Link Search - Bruce Clay

According to Technorati, I now control all of those blogs.  What it normally would show is the picture of the person (or whatever icon they chose) who originally claimed the blog and verified it, along with their name (or whatever they chose).  But what’s happening is that it it is taking the info from whomever the last site to link to them and displaying that instead.

    I hate the design of the ticker, green on black, brrrrr. Sends me back to 1995.

    Chris, Thanks for the update. I own “melange” at http://angelacw.wordpress.com

    I just went in to Technorati to claim my blog. (Which it did successfully.)

    Any idea when Technorati plans on fixing this bug?

    Thanks.

    Angela –

    It looks like they have fixed it already (sort of because the top 3 show info but the rest don’t). No need to worry though, it wasn’t anything that could do damage to your site – just a weird bug.

    Well, I bet at least you were happy that you were on Technorati somewhere! ;)
