About 13M blogs have updated in the last 60 days. Alarmingly, some 99% of all pings to Technorati are spam. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.micropersuasion.com/2008/01/almost-all-ping.html"><P>So what does this mean?
