without comments

Hope that the title did not make you think that Google Reader failed or something. The Google reader which is an online Feed Aggregator is working fine, it’s only that they have come up with a new Offline feature that allows you to read upto feed items even when you are not connected to Internet.

WordPress.com Domain Upgrade

with 4 comments

Technorati Rank is Dead

with 3 comments

As I do usually everyday, I opened up Technorati to check my rank and found it nowhere!. I see a lot of changes on Technorati, which seems to be done in haste with 100 links (on Authority#) on the Popular Blogs page not working. This ends up the query that I raised in my previous post There is Something about Technorati, but would raise new ones.

However I agree with //engtech who recently opted out of technorati, and would not waste my time digging into Technoarti.
