Good on Technorati for bothering to seek out and destroy the bug in their search system:

“We fixed a bug, link counts increased: Over the past weeks we’ve done some digging around in the depths of the search system. The other day, we found and fixed a persistent bug.

“As a result, nearly everyone’s link counts will increase, as will authority figures. These new figures are more accurate. If you see any more cases of links that we don’t seem to be finding, please let us know!”

From this story in Valleywag looks like social networking (via buzzmeter) is past its peak?
I dunno, maybe I got out just in the nick of time. Hey, you spin it anyway you want. Maybe this means the maturation of the social networking market?

“Mentions in the press of “social network” or another even uglier phrase, “social networking”, reached 1,158 in September, but have declined since. That could mean a decline in media interest in sites like Myspace and Facebook or, more likely, an acceptance that all media will be social, all successful sites will allow users to “friend” eachother, and that it’s no longer interesting to spotlight a feature so ubiquitous.”
