Funny. I get an IE error when I try to open the Technorati's Tag on brrreeeport. Didn't happen the first time I tried it but it doesn now with regularity.

Do you find amusement from these pointlessly stupid geek tricks? Well, everyone needs a hobby, I guess...

Well, glad that I am able to provide for such gleeful amusement.
Went to the 'Carmina Burana' dance repertoire, and the Sacramento Theatre Company's production of Amadeus. More my style of amusement. But Technorati tricks ahoy!

"UPDATE 2: Technorati finds 39 posts, same as Google’s blog search at 11:09 p.m."
in conclusion, Google is scraping Technorati

You folks should also check out this link wrt to usablity sins 2.0 !! (And technorati response on this forum) too !!
This is very interesting. Google and MSN Search still bring up nothing, Yahoo finds a few but not even your original post. Icerocket however (and A9 using Icerocket) does find quite a bit. Does this mean the major search engines, are slow, ignore blogs/comments, are inaccurate, or give preference towards commercial news sites first?
It's amazing. Usually I can't find anything with Technorati. But it seems whenever an a-lister blogs about it, Technorati does extra-ordinarily well. Almost like someone was pulling the chains in the server room.

thats not really the test that matters. Only blog geeks really care that a post was caught in X min/sec/hours. Which means some of us have too much time on our hands.
Now what will be interesting is if a splogger picks it up and republishes it all over the place.
Also, somebody's using it as a Google Adword as well!

Ok, I put Brrreeeport in my log. Told everybody to sit in their backyard and comtemplate their navels for the answer.
Guess I will do that to figure how Pingback things.

It seems like Scoble have nothing better to do over at Microsoft today than inventing a new word (brrreeeport), then tag it and see what happens. BTW, the brrreeeport sounds extremely familiar to a certain bodily sound that Adam Curry happens to let loose in the Daily Source Code on a regular basis like a 30 second spot...sponsored by (oh you know by whoom..). The worst thing is that even I find myself writing a post on it..Is this the sad true state of the blogosphere today, or is it just what makes people tick'?
Looking at the more serious side of it (if there is any..) when I was running a blog campaign for Samsung Mobile's Anyfilms.net some time ago, I noticed that Google Blog Search by far out numbered Technorati and the others in tracking the posts. Technorati turned out to be really disappointing as a reliable tracking tool (which was a pity since I really like their service). The big surprise however, was MSN Search tracking far more blogs with the tag "anyfilms" than the others (after Google of course).
@Warner Crocker: Are you really surprised with IE errors? come on, that's part of the whole IE thing ;)

"I'm late, I'm late for a very important date..." name that tune? Ok, so I'll give it a mention. But this is why I hate BLOGS. Well, the 'net in general, now I have 16 zillion more links to follow. :

Dear Abby: Nobody likes me (sniff, sniff). Why even my biggest search engine hit [on Yahooo (been delisted from Google)], doesn't bring me any traffic anymore ('nude female midgets' ... http://anechoicroom.blogspot.com/2005/11/nude-f...). Am I still a blogger if no one visits and I get almost no MSN, Yahoo, or Technorati traffic as well?
Its funny the amount of uproar this sort of thing causes. Some people really have boring days dont they.

:D It's amazing to see the power of Blogs and bloggers. They can create keywords that are actually effective just by gathering together and voicing their opinions.
Very interesting experience. I will definitely be posting an article about this on my blog sometime soon.
