And this part of your post had me ROTFLMAO, >"Many email and asked, dude... when are you going to go pro?" I replied, guys I am a pro - a professional reporter who is also a blogger. That arrangement works quite well for me." As soon as I read that, my internal google (ie. synapses) pull up an image of the best damn news anchor on TV, Jon Stewart. I can just see him saying the same thing while sitting on a panel with the old guys from the big 3. Keep up the good work. PS. I wonder if anybody has ever asked Tony Hawk if he's going pro? still laughing... Congrats Om!

Problem is, Technorati doesn't read RSS feeds as far as I can tell. They scrape the actual html. (Yes, they do publish some RSS feeds, but...) So to avoid further confusion, you might want to adopt a different kind of label to group companies like Technorati, Feedster, etc. Om,
