So get this,

I checked out Technorati a few days ago and Ron Paul was the 2nd most popular search. Checked today, and he doesn't even register. I did a search for his name and found a lot of recent blog entries.

Anyone know what's up with this? Think he is being censored?

Ahh, hope some of the guys of the big tech companies, like google, would endorse Ron.

Top Searches
1. authority
2. ron paul
...
14. britney spears
15. security

I wonder what is with Authority and Security being in the top searches.
Do you think it is Rudy's Stealth Marketing Campaign?

Paris Hilton is gone too. Something is wrong with their system no doubt.

Weird. I just tried it again and the number 2 spot is grayed out... even the flame. If I refresh it, it goes away, but still no Dr. Paul.

And technorati's #2 listing is grayed out.

This is either a bug (doubtful), or this is some sort of deliberate stunt.

lets not jump to conclusions........... I was having problems with their listing other than RP.

Technorati is loving RP and I have never seen a reason to why they would want to put up any roadblocks. If this was a News Corp hosted site I would jump to conclusions though.

Yeah, I sent them an e-mail asking, but I noticed all the front top searches just shifted around, so it might just be database maintenance or the like. Why would hillary clinton be #1 on the front page, then ron paul get blanked out at the same time though, THAT does still seem suspicious... we shall see tomorrow I guess!

shows up fine for me. Might be a bug or a hack. I don't think it is intentional on technorati's part.
