Technorati Sucks, Week 6

I don't actually know if Technorati sucks at this exact moment. The .mac people, who provide the email service by which I am awaiting a response from technorati, are themselves sucking at present.

They are knowing they are sucking. They are sucking in English: "The .Mac service you are looking for is temporarily unavailable while we perform scheduled maintenance." They are sucking in German: "Der .Mac Dienst, nach dem Sie suchen, ist zur Zeit nicht verfügbar, da planmäßige Wartungsarbeiten durchgeführt werden." They are sucking in French: "Le service .Mac que vous recherchez est momentanément indisponible en raison d’une maintenance planifiée." They are sucking in Japanese: "現在、定期メンテナンス中につき、お探しの.Macサービスはご利用いただくことができません。" Or anyway I think that was Japanese. It had what could either be taken as a red sun on white next to it, or a bloody egg, sunny-side-up.

Who sucks more, he who sucks and knows he sucks or he who sucks and knows it not? A. Whichever one is Technorati.
