Matt - Great question. I really don't know the answer, however, I concur with your thoughts on their service level. I make sure my blog still pings them when it posts, but that's the extent of my relationship with them for about a year now.

Subject: [The Unique Geek] Technorati - Is It relevant at all anymore?
From: comicscavern <[email protected]>

After spending the last 3 years with a broken infrastructure, failing
miserably at indexing and updating blogs, while maintaining an elitist
"quality standard" that - also broken - prevented many blogs from even
being indexed, and focusing their energy instead on an advertising
platform which took forever to roll out, is plagued with bugs, and
apparently is not paying out to its users - and in light of how many
massive sea changes the social Internet has gone through as Technorati
ignored quality control - are the relevant at all anymore?
I've decided that they're not worth the endless complaints to tech
support, the never-ending battle for proper indexing and authority
attribution, and other problems I've experienced consistently for
years with several different blogs, and have asked them to cancel my
account (that's right, you have to ask - you can't just close out your
account).
In typical Technorati fashion, they have yet to reply to my many
requests for support in this matter.
Is anybody using Technorati anymore? If so, are you happy to be doing
so?
Do they matter at all in the blog/Facebook/Twitter world that evolved
around them as they sat around growing comfortable, lazy, and
completely dysfunctional?
