David Sifry Writes about the Future–Janice Myint Please Don’t Read It

February 7, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

David Sifry posted The State of the Blogosphere–Part 1 at the Technorati Weblog today. This post is research and analysis at its finest. The post is deep, broad, and replete with solid information, graphic visuals, and links to take you even deeper. Anyone who wants to understand the blogosphere should read it.

The information and analysis in this post will serve you in your online business. It will serve you as a student. It will serve you in casual conversation–when a friend wants to discuss the future of the Internet, or when someone tries to tell you all blogs are trashy online diaries.

Just a few notes–a taste–from the summary.

Technorati now tracks over 27.2 Million blogs

The blogosphere is doubling in size every 5 and a half months

It is now over 60 times bigger than it was 3 years ago

On average, a new weblog is created every second of every day

13.7 million bloggers are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created

Spings (Spam Pings) can sometimes account for as much as 60% of the total daily pings Technorati receives

I sure hope Janice Myint doesn’t read it. Any Customer Service Team Leader at Technorati has enough to worry about. This post could be just overwhelming. Janice we still need you . . . please keep going. (When I went to check the link on this post, I got the “Sorry we are unable to complete your search right now . . .” message. At least now I know why.)

Everyone else go read it. This is stuff you can’t buy at any price and you won’t get in business school. The name of this post is State of the Blogosphere–Part 1. But it tells the future.

Janice Myint, It didn’t Work Right

February 1, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

I sent an email to Janice Myint at Technorati.

In it I included this link Dear Niall Kennedy and David Sifry and a statement that I have three blogs that are not working.

I awoke this morning to a reply it said.

That’s indexed fine:

I see last ping at 2006-01-22 18:15:13

forcing a manual respider works – can you check your pinging?

Here I go again.
It seems the drill is check the last post for the URL in the header and pick up one line in the message. No need to actually read it.

I did reply to the sender with a complete list of the problems, but I don’t think that was help enough, consdering the circumstanstances.

I think I also will trackback this post to Ms. Janice Myint’s original post about her arrival. The quest to help Technorati Customer Service improve moves forward.

It’s not an easy job, being the nice one. . . . But someone’s gotta do it.
Everyone so wants Janice to succeed.

Janice Myint at Technorati Is in Customer Support

January 31, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

You might not be aware that Technorati has a Weblog, but yes indeedy, it sure does.

On January 30th the Post from Janice Myint said

In its commitment to continually improve its service, Technorati has recently brought me on board as a full time Customer Support Specialist. We are dedicated to addressing the current support issues in a timely manner, reducing the present support backlog, and improving online Troubleshooting and Help documentation to aid users utilize Technorati to its fullest.

The first thing that Ms. Myint is working on will be helping folks who are having trouble claiming a blog, because they are getting the notice “Checking for Technorati Goodness.”
Want to know more? Here’s a link to Ms.Myint’s post.

Good luck, Janice Myint in Customer Service at Technorati. You’ve got your work cut out for you. I guess you could think of it as job security. Sure would be nice of all of the Technorati messy stuff went away.

I’m dying to say something about sending in a woman to do the job . . . , but I’m the nice one, so I won’t. 🙂
