Technorati blog claiming contest is on!
Hi blogsters! Remember when Technorati used to be relevant? Me too.
Of course, they likely don’t know about this blog, because it still isn’t in their directory despite me having followed their procedures in MID-NOVEMBER. Now that’s the real-time web, eh kids?
So I’ve decided to make a contest. Leave a comment with your best guess as to what date they’ll approve my blog (Never is not a valid option; “when hell freezes over” isn’t either) and finish the review process they began 90 days ago, and the person who gets closest to the actual date will get a coffee and a pastry date with me (or without me, if you prefer) if they’re in the Ottawa area, or I’ll paypal you enough to buy yourself a coffee and a donut.
Multiple correct answers will result in a random draw for the prize.
Good luck!

Hmmm… May 13, 2010.
Aleksandr’s guess of February 30th is as likely as anything, but March 5th, 3 pm for me.
Well, when did you submit your blog? Everyone I know that’s actually applied in November has gotten approved, I waited from Nov 24, 09 to 1/30/2010.
It might have something to do with/your/site/structure/.
Anyway, I’m voting for 2/30/2010 if you registered your blog in Nov.
Aleksandr, I submitted it on 25 November, and then on January 19 was informed that the “description didn’t match the content.” Unfortunately, Technorati wasn’t providing any way to CHANGE the description at that time. So after six days, I went back in, found I COULD update the content, and did so. Then the clock reset to January 25, and here I sit. More info here on my blog and Joe Thornley’s experience from 2008
February 29, 2010 LMAO
Since Jamie took mine, I’m going to guess May 27th, 2010.
April Fool’s Day (2010) seems the most fitting.

October 8th, 2010
About three days after they find out about your contest. February 26, 2010.
