Technorati started to update my blog again!

If you don’t already know, my blog suffered from the “technorati mood swings”, where it states that my blog hasn’t been updated for more than 50days. It seems that I’m not the only onewho has this problem.

Until now, I don’t know what happened and what to do as technorati won’t update my blogs, though i’ve ping them each time I write new post. But last night, I was hit by a pleasant suprise, my blog was updated by technorati 7 days ago, and all my post within that 50days period is included in technorati.

God knows what happened behind the technorati engine, but I wrote this as a reference to other bloggers. Do not give up if technorati stopped updating your blog, they might just have a minor hiccups. Your blogs will be updated by them eventually.

TinyURL.com spammers abuse solution

Following my previous post about spammers using TinyURL.com service to spread their spam ads, I’ve received an e-mail reply from Kevin Gilbertson.

He recommends people to forward the spam emails to abuse@tinyurl.com , complete with header so that they can investigate abuse and terminate TinyURLs that are used in spam.

Personally, I think that TinyURL.com registration procedure is too lenient, encouraging spammers to use their services to spread spams. Until TinyURL.com impose a strict registration procedure (like putting captcha, discourage robot/automated registration ) I guess we could flood abuse@tinyurl.com with spammers url that abuses TinyURL service, just to send them a clear message.
