It appears that Technorati is somehow confusing the tags of my posts, and in many cases the tags for one post get associated with the previous post. Apologies to those of you looking for something and finding something else! If this is happening to you, try going to the post immediately following the one you arrived at, and it will probably be the one you want.
The tags appear in the correct <content:encoded> section of the feed, so I’m not quite sure what’s going on. Hopefully this will get fixed soon.
To help sort this out I have redirected Technoratibot to the original RSS2 feed rather than the FeedBurner feed which most everyone else gets. Hopefully this will improve the situation, and if it does, I’ll update this post.
Update 4 July: This did indeed fix the problem, whatever it is. Technoratibot can’t seem to get the right tags in the FeedBurner feed, but it gets them right from the WordPress feed. Technorati is aware of the issue and I’ll update again when I am aware of a fix. Also, other people are having the same problem, and not with FeedBurner feeds.
Update 5 July: Well it appears I was wrong. Technorati still is associating the tags with the wrong posts, even on the original WordPress feed. I suspect it’s falling back to the XHTML, which is tricky at best. Though the feed is plain old RSS2 and should be easy enough to parse. So I dunno what’s going on.
Update 8 July: I received a response from Technorati that the issue should be fixed. I did some quick spot checks and it seems that my new posts have the correct tags, though posts made while the trouble was occurring now have both the correct tags and the wrong tags. I can live with that.

Ultimately, the war supporters in Congress prevailed in the vote on the resolution. Still, the vote was significant because it places every member of Congress on the record as supporting or not supporting the unconstitutional, costly, violent occupation of a country that never attacked us. This vote should serve as an important reminder to the American people of where their representatives really stand when it comes to policing the world, empire building, and war.
Gardner Goldsmith explains why claims by politicians that consumers can become "irrational" and why claims by the same politicians that government can help "fix" markets are both false and misleading. He also explains what the terms Praxeology and Epistemology mean, which is key in understanding how to place free markets in their proper place among human history.

Hi,
I’m curious how you can redirect Technorati.. I had no clue I could manipulate what it reads, and tech support at my blog host thinks the problem is it does not use the info in the rss2 feed, but rather what it reads (incorrectly) in the main blog page itself.
Thanks for any pointers – here or email.

Hm, for your particular blogging software, I have no idea how you would accomplish such a thing, but WordPress is capable of serving a RSS 0.91, RSS 2.0, Atom feed, and I also am using FeedBurner, which brings up its own set of issues. My trouble only seems to happen when Technorati is exposed to the FeedBurner feed; when it reads the RSS 2.0 feed generated natively by WordPress, everything is fine.

I am in trouble with technorati since a few days too. It’s just fucked up: inbound links appear and disappear in the lest of those I had before July the 1st and no new inbound links since then.
The fact is I know that’s wrong.

I am having the same problems as you are on technorati. What is happening for me is that when I post an article it republishes the first ever article where I used technorati tags.
Any ideas ?

neuro, Benjamin, as far as I can tell, the fix for ioerror corrected the problems with your posts’ tags too.

Kevin, my identical issue does not seem to be fixed at all .. wonder why. Actually, it started identical .. but for several days now, nothing I do gets picked up by Technorati at all .. so perhaps the tags WOULD point to the right article, if they were picked up – how can I force that?
Thanks,
Zoli

Technorati has just added another whistle on a car with a broken engine.
