I've had posts on About.com (about the Eurovision Song Contest) & an Indian News Site (About the world cup final) which were found on Technorati.

Surprisingly enough, people still use the service, so it's well worth submitting to.

But how should i use them?

That's actually sort of what I figured. Since I don't blog about news I don't get very good results from Technocrati.

It has been really slow going for me on Technorati!

They were having the hardest times keeping timely updates on my posts for the longest times, no matter how many times I pinged them. I have been checking back with them now and then, because I got tired of the frustration.

Now they seem to be doing better but they still skip every other post I put up. But even still it is just one more way to get my blog's name out there!
