Pinging Technorati
July 7th, 2003
Dave Sifry has written a web service for pinging Technorati to let it know you’ve updated your weblog.
Technorati, of course, is a useful service that lets you know what weblogs have linked to each other, as well as other nifty functionality like hottest links in the blogosphere. For example, here is a list of weblogs referring to us here at 10RW. (FYI, that was the “royal us.”)
Of course, right now Technorati says this weblog was last updated 8 hours and 15 minutes ago, because it doesn’t get scanned on posting, but on some other timeframe. Now with the pinger, Technorati can be notified at the time I make a post. Yay!
