Has Technorati Stopped Counting?

On August 30th, Technorati announced that they were working on the blog spiders and that new posts would not be available during this time. Later that evening, they noted that they were now on to re-pinging all in and outbound blog links. While the new site links appear in my linked page, the counts for authority and total link counts haven't changed in what appears to be since the spider updates.

On Saturday I had a look at what Technorati calls the Top 5 blogs and here are their counts then and today:

• Engadget – 30,898 - 30,898
• Boing Boing – 25,141 - 25,081
• Gizmodo – 24,362 - 24,290
• TechCrunch – 22,151 - 22,088
• Huffington Post – 19,319 – 19,319

It does appear that counts are going down but not up so I am betting that they have not turned the "add" count mechanism back on. Yes, I know that the bigger the blog, the less movement as Technorati only counts authority as 1 per blog over a 6-month period. But for newer active blogs, the counts should be changing daily.

Please report in on your blog counts – have they changed or only moved down in the last week?
