Technorati has been blocking ZapTXT from accessing its RSS feeds on search results pages for a few weeks.

Some of you have written to us and we are very very sorry for the late response - we have been trying to engage them to get this resolved. No luck other than a promise to look into it about a month ago. 

We’ll keep providing a status update as soon as they respond to this. We’ve gone up and down the management chain but there’s been radio silence for a while. ‘Traditional’ feed readers seem to be working fine for this so its a little baffling.

Until this gets resolved, please use one of the other blog search engines if you are trying to monitor the blogsphere for a given topic.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Based on the response we got for the Web 2.0 conference, we created a ZapTask for Le Web 3 that includes the feeds from the Le Web 3 blog as well as Technorati’s search results feed so you can follow blog posts as they get published.

We’ve found that IM with ‘as soon as possible’ selected for delivery options is a great way to sit back and enjoy the show as the bloggers sitting at the conference provide live commentary.

There already some good buzz out there from the likes of TechCrunch France, Damian Mulley, Jacques Froissant and others.

Enjoy the conference!
