The Truth Laid Bear Ecosystem - Broken? Or Just Not Communicating?
Count myself a bit on the aggravated side today. Actually for several days regarding the ecosystem maintained by The Truth Laid Bear. Like many bloggers, I am curious how my blog ranks among other blogs and The Truth Laid Bear (henceforth referred to as TTLB) is a free system ranking blogs based on certain criteria. However for some unknown reason, information concerning my blog hasn’t been updated for several days. For example:
This is a screencap of the average daily visits measured by TTLB. This screencap was taken shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning, January 15th, 2008. According to this graph, my visits have alledgedly remained static since December 31st, 2007. However I know this to be not true since I use a sitecounter that shows normal varations of the daily visits. Other evidence of problems is the following:
This is a screencap also taken shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning, January 15th, 2008. It shows the most recent post according to TTLB is from December 25th. However as you can clearly see, I’ve posted plenty more material since then. Why doesn’t anything past December 25th show up? I first noticed this lack of updates and went to their support area of TTLB to let someone know. According to their support ticket info, a response usually occurs within 24 hours. Not in my case…
As you can see in this screencap (also taken shortly after midnight on January 15th, 2008) I registered my query on January 2nd just after 8:00 pm. It’s now been over 12 days and still no reply.
I’ve checked other blogs’ info as maintained by TTLB and some of the ones I looked at seem to be updating on a daily basis while others are “flatlining” as well. So why is mine suddenly frozen in time? I realize you get what you paid for an TTLB’s service is free so I guess I can’t expect timely responses nor lightning fast service, but a little help from TTLB would be nice. I have no idea whom I can contact directly since I can’t find any email info on TTLB’s site. However the sole clue I discovered that may indicate some sort of problem on their end is found on the TTLB’s “Blogsophere Ecosystem” area. The following screencap (also captured shortly after midnight on January 15th, 2008) gives the telling message:
It would be nice if there were some sort of information given on TTLB updating their situation. Is the 12/21/07 error the source of my problem? Is it affecting blogs at random? Is my blog having problems for unrelated reasons? Anyone know anything about TTLB current status? Will little Timmy be saved from the bottom of the dry well?
Okay, that last question was being facetious, but I’m curious if something can be done to get my blog thawed out in the TTLB Blogosphere Ecosystem. And if it is something I need to do on my end or is it something on TTLB’s end that they are currently trying to address.
If anyone hears something, please leave a comment or email me. I would greatly appreciate it.
