You can consider adding your Twitter account to the Technorati Blog directory for the following reasons:
1. You can associate relevant Technorati tags to your Twitter profile and this could give you extra exposure via the popular Technorati blog directory (see tags).
2. With Technorati, you can automatically track other blog posts that are linking to your tweets.
3. Your Twitter account will also show up in your Technorati profile page just like your other regular blogs thus increasing visibility.
Add Twitter to Technorati Blog Directory
Step 1: Login to your Technorati account and claim a new blog. Type the full URL of your Twitter page here.
Step 2: Technorati will provide you blog claim code. Just take the href value from the claim code and publish it as a new tweet as show below:
Step 3: Go back to the Technorati page and click "Complete Claim". Once that’s successful, delete the above twitter message.
You can fill in the Technorati profile of your Twitter page with tags and a proper description. Done. Credit: Richard Jalichandra.

Nice tip. I just did it. But I just wonder how important Technorati is anymore — and for that matter, why claim a blog anymore?

This is to clarify step 1, type the full url of your twitter page. It is “http://twitter.com/username” where username is your twitter account name.

Good tip!
I follow your tip but I changed step number 2.
Instead of sending url code to my followers I just published it on my settings page on “more info url” field, then I went back to the Technorati page and click “Complete Claim”.
And immediately after I put again my url site on “more info url” field! ;-)
