It happened to me too when I moved from Blogger to hosting my own Wordpress blog. Its really tough to get Technorati or anyone else see your point of view. Just have to carry on I guess. Tough luck.

It is probably easier to just wait out the six months than to have Technorati change anything ;) I was just thinking the same as Michael.

But I am actually concerned more about losing StumbleUpons. On another site I maintain which is quite popular, there is a LOT of traffic coming from StumbleUpon, some pages have way over 100 stumbles (don't know if that is good or bad), but I am about to lauch a complete site and url redesign tonight, and someone at StumbleUpon told me that they won't be following 301's.I don't know enough about StumbleUpon to know whether people care about who else stumbled a site/page before they do it, but building up those stumbles over time I understand helps.I think this may be a general problem with many social bookmarking sites, I imagine...
