I have been working with a couple of web services lately (see prior post on Zend framework and Gdata), and upon deploying my application found out the technorati part of my site wasn't working. I ran my unit tests, and multiple errors occured, saying the script wasn't able to connect to the url: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Exception' with message 'Unable to Connect to tcp://api.technorati.com:80. Error #110: Connection timed out' This happened last night, and again this morning. I tried to access the API straight through the browser (http://api.technorati.com/search?key=[apikey]&query=[words]), and the service is unavailable. So fairly sure it isn't a result of the Zend Framework or my code. Can't find any info on the web, so not sure what is going on... I'll have to check in another day or two and see if it is back up or any other info is available.
