I am very happy to say that the people over at Technorati have resolved my problem with that other person that was claiming that my blog here at writingup was actually his. If you haven't read my first post about this subject then here is the link: When I dug a little deeper I noticed this dude with his picture next to all my writingup.com blog entries.
Here is the exact response that I received in my email.
