The reason I made this post, though, was because I just felt like it was completely false and someone should do something about it. If no one complains about Technorati's rating systems, nothing will change. While I am happy that I have so many subscribers, it is ludacrous to hear that kitkast.com is worth $0 to Technorati. It's insulting after all the hard work I've put into it. Melissa- I just went to BlogHer and saw what you're talking about... thanks for the link. I'm glad people are hungry for sex news... it makes it all worth while for me. I must admit, I'm very surprised by the success of my show in such a short period of time... nearly 3000 subscribers in 3 weeks is much more than I ever imagined! Well, I hope someone can find some way to make the ratings more accurate... Ellie- You’re right… it’s ridiculous for us to get so excited/riled-up about what our blog is “worth”.

That FeedBurner API graph is amazing, and a call to arms, in a way. It's so revitilizing to see how many people are hungry for good sex news.

That FeedBurner API graph is amazing, and a call to arms, in a way. It’s so revitilizing to see how many people are hungry for good sex news.

My blog is valued at twice as much as my podcast even though my podcast has ten times as many RSS subscribers! (Although, downloads and page hits are about the same) But really, isn't is just a silly popularity contest? Why does it matter how much your blog is "worth"? You’re right of course.
