How to Claim Your Twitter Account on Technorati

Did you realize that Twitter is a blog? Yes it is, and if you don't believe me, just ask Technorati.

It turns out that you can claim your Twitter blog on Technorati. Why would you want to do that? Because it makes it easy to track how many blogs are blogging about things that you've Twittered about and who did the blogging.

How do you do it?

1. Click the "Claim Your Blog" link on the homepage.

2. Enter your Twitter Username's URL: http://www.twitter.com/yourusername

3. Choose Post Claim

4. Grab just the URL of the post claim URL and post that as a Twitter tweet. For example, if it said you should post <a href="http://technorati.com/claim/abcdefg" rel="me">Technorati Profile</a>

Just grab http://technorati.com/claim/abcdefg

and post that as a Tweet on Twitter.

You can add additional text after the URL (give it a space) to explain to your friends what they heck you're doing.

5. Once you've posted your new Tweet, confirm that on Technorati and you'll be good to go.

To see an active Technorati claimed Twitter feed, check out mine here. And here is my Twitter account in case you're into that sort of thing.

Cheers for the great tip.
Doesn't work for me. Can't for the life of me see what I've done differently.
(I even tried adding the URL to the Bio of my Twitter profile but no joy...)
I'll have another play later on.
Thanks once again for the tip though.

oh the shame :(
It does help if one spells their username correctly when submitting the claim.

I guess Tech. doesnt let people do that anymore. It coming up flagged. What gives?
