Technorati is down (again) which is preventing me from updating econ blog rankings or adding new blogs.

I’ve heard rumours that Technorati are abandoning their blog rankings and this may be an early indication of that. They do not publish rankings on their own website at the moment, but (until now) they’ve still been available to web developers. Also ominously, Technorati’s information for developers has not been updated in a very long time.

So it looks like I may no longer be able to use Technorati to rank blogs. Any other suggestions?
