Has anyone else noticed that their Technorati widget is acting up?
Early yesterday morning I noticed that the Technorati widget on a few of my blogs was showing a huge list of websites within it.
I don’t have my Technorati widget set up to show tags or anything other than my profile link, the sites authority and a Technorati search box. However my widget appears to be showing a list of sites that either I’ve faved or that have faved my blog. There isn’t even an option for the widget to show anything like that, so this is very strange.
I went to Technorati and search the discussions in the help section and their weblog to see if anyone else had mentioned that their widget looked odd, but I haven’t found any mention of it.
Yet, as I’ve surfed the net I’ve seen the widget acting up on other peoples blogs.
Luckily I’ve only got the widget set up to show on the main page of my blog. It looks ugly! I hope they fix this problem.
If you’re using the Technorati widget on your blog go and take a look and see if yours looks odd too.
I wonder if you have to have the widget on your site to continue to stay listed in Technorati or not?

i haven’t checked my technorati for so long now … I think am still listed there, though; they have been acting weird for the longest time! LOL

Yes! Yesterday (5/29) my authority widget dropped from 401 to 292 but it seems to be fixed today.

That’s really strange. The only thing I’ve noticed with mine is that it’s lost about 50 in the past month. 🙁

I’ve noticed the same and its strange. The only widget I have is Fave This blog, but I know its not necessary to be listed. Technorati lists blogs even if they’re not registered.

I only know that they have had some sort of problem recently, because all my faves disappeared and so did all my fans! The faves were gone for weeks at least, but the fans only some days. They ame back the other day though, luckily. I didn’t feel like starting it all over again, because it’s not the first time I’ve problems with them…
