Technonotti

Technorati claims that seven minutes after you blog something it shows up in their indexes as searchable. Oh yeah?

I'm not so sure. It's been a lot longer than seven minutes since yesterday's cicada story. I did a search for cicada, even a search for Drescher, and nothing related to the brianstorms.com blog shows up there. Miracle of miracles, if one searches for daily show reruns, Technorati does mention the brianstorms.com blog entry from May 27th. But Technorati says "Post created 2 days 15 hours 4 minutes ago" --- today is June 1st. Two days after 15 hours and 4 minutes ago was not May 27th.

What's up, Technorati?

UPDATE:
When I created this post, I pinged the BoingBoing.net article that talks about Technorati. I just went to BoingBoing's site, went to the exact article (here's the permalink), clicked the link at the bottom of that article where it says Other blogs commenting on this post, and this blog is not mentioned.

UPDATE II. Now it is mentioned. Wait a sec. If you go to this page, and refresh your browser, you get different results every time. One time it might say that that boingboinbg page "has 5 links from 5 sources", then after a refresh it might say "has 3 links from 3 sources". Refresh again, "has 4 links from 4 sources". Sometimes brianstorms.com is listed, sometimes not. Sometimes it'll say "5 links from 5 sources" but only show three. Sometimes it'll say "has 2 links from 2 sources" but show five. Is this a bug? Am I missing something?
