Many people are reporting on Technorati's State of the Blogosphere Report. I personally don't think much of it, not when I look at Technorati's coverage of my own site, and see this mess - the fourth 'freshest' link dating "14152 days ago". My ranking bounces up and down 1000 places in a day, which represents wild swings of 25 percent or more. The results for my name are no better. It is not plausible to believe my name was mentioned only once in the entire blogosphere yesterday (or even only four times today) - certainly not when I myself saw more references than that just in the blogs in our Connectivism course. And it returns 140 results for the CCK08 tag, which is utterly ridiculous. Maybe if we used "Technorati Tags" we'd be better represented in the listings.
