Hi Fabian, Unfortunately, that's the nature of blogs and blog pings - they are *full* of spam. If you intend to develop a full-blown blog search engine be prepared (I repeat: be VERY prepared) to deal with a LOT of spam. I can't comment much about Technorati, but I wouldn't be so sure about the increased quality of those pings. You can get information from Pingomatic - you just have to be one of the services it notifies (talk to Photomatt, of course). No, you cannot get access to pings that come directly to Technorati, that's Technorati's data. :) But this is getting off-topic.

FeedMesh is not working now (www.feedmesh.com) and pubsub.com was told to work but it doesn't. I think that Technorati receives most valuable (the best) pings (good blogs, few spam) but I don't know if we can access to that information or if we can access to pingomatic services of updated blogs. Do you know something about this?
