Woohoo! Number one on Technorati!

Well here’s one that ought to drive the ultra-competitive Christy bonkers. It seems there’s a bit of a glitch right now on Technorati. Earlier today I stood just outside the Top 5k with a rank of about 5,600, now suddenly I’ve vaulted all the way into the Top100 sitting in the very first spot! ;) Don’t believe me? See for yourself!

Technorati Glitch

Anyone else seeing this glitch today? Perhaps Christy is number one right now as well ;D

    In a “isn’t the internet fun and bizarre” kind of way, that makes me very happy.

    Btw, thanks for the tips re: “related posts”. I couldn’t get the software you used to work, but I found another one that gave me tagging too which is perfect (and one lead from the other, of course).

    Very funny Mike! Of course I’ve already investigated this situation, lol. I actually think this is a fun glitch for everyone, it’s the first glitch that’s actually making everyone happier!

    I came by to thank you for that Sponsored Reviews advice you gave everyone. They just updated me today to four check marks which I’m sure will make somewhat of a difference. I never would have thought of it myself. A million thank you’s!

    I just saw that Danielle is up to 14 comments, I’m never going to be able to catch up now! :)

    You’ll be pleased to know that it’s not a glitch. I called them last night to let them know a plush toy Gummy was on its way to their front door. The ranking they gave you was their way of saying they appreciate it. :P

    LOL…I had a feeling everyone else was going to be number one as well :P

    @Linda: What trouble did ya have with the plugin? It takes a little bit of playing around with, but once you do get it working it’s great :)

    @Danielle: Yay! Helen :D Maybe this is just Technorati’s way of saying we’re all number one to them in their hearts ;P

    @Christy: Glad the update worked in your favor as well! I’m thinking they may want to have a look at their automatic update scripts..hehe. The update has definitely worked for me so far!

    @Mark: Why is that you have plush Gummies and I don’t? :P

    Ah, I was just giving you incentive to start that up. ;)

  12. Helen 4 August 2007 at 8:47 pm Permalink

    Wait, seriously? I’m #1 too? LOL This glitch is amazing! Haha!

  13. Mike 4 August 2007 at 9:11 pm Permalink

    Hehe..I think they finally fixed it, but it was fun while it lasted ;P

    This is probably the only way that my rank is ever gonna move up. SO I’LL TAKE IT!

    I got a database error when I installed the code. It said that a certain database field didn’t exist. I did wonder whether this were something that changed in the latest and greatest WordPress. Either way, the other one works very nicely too and gives me a new thing to obsess about–whether to use tags or categories, and how to use each one. :-P

    @Bush: Oh I’m sure you’ll find your rankings will increase as you keep writing those great articles :)

    @Linda: Hehe…well as long as found something that works for you, that’s all that matters ;D

    Hi Mike and Gummy, congrats for taking the Number 1 spot, even if it was for a moment or it was a glitch! :)

  19. Mike 7 August 2007 at 6:31 am Permalink

    Hehe…maybe we can all be number 1 again some day. It was fun while it lasted :)
