I also sent a request, probably a month ago, to get pings from  
Pingerati and have not yet received a response.  I've been too  
distracted by other projects to ask about it on the #technorati IRC  
channel, but that would be my next step.  This list might also work.

Yes.

I'd like to.

I'm still crawling for microformats here, though depending on what  
kind of input I get from Pingerati, I may stop doing that in a future  
incarnation:

http://www.randomchaos.com/microformats/base/

Results are in hAtom, so you should be able to consume that easily  
with any hAtom parser.  If you're looking for hCards, here's every  
URL I've found to contain hCards (likely slow to load, as it's not a  
paged list):

http://www.randomchaos.com/microformats/base/?key=vcard

But I'm sure Technorati has a lot more, and I'm not doing any sort of  
pinging.

Peace,
