Out of interest can anyone explain why overnight the number of blogs Technorati lists as linking here have halved ? (And my rating tumbled as a consequence !) It seems unlikely so many people would simultaneously and independently have thought better of the connection (although I wouldn't necessarily blame them). I'm not vain about it, just curious.....I've asked a couple of others who say they've had a similarly perplexing Technorati experience. If no-one knows, I'll email Dave Sifry and ask.
(UPDATE: Dave Sifry has responded without being emailed (see comments) - that's customer care for you. And overnight the figures have doubled back up again. Thanks Dave!)

We've been making some upgrades to our link counting systems, but I believe that everything has settled down. You might have gotten our blog caught inadvertently and miscounted.
Give us a couple of days and things should stabilize. Sorry about that!
Dave
