LiveJournal pinging weblogs.com?

Found a link from Technorati: Top 50 Interesting Recent Blogs with Context in my referrers, went to check out the page, and saw a lot of unfamiliar listings with similarly formed titles. On a hunch, I started mousing over and sure enough most of them were LiveJournal blogs.
Is Technorati manually mining LJ or have LJ blogs started pinging?

    Yup! It’s something for paid users I believe. They just turned on the capability a few weeks ago. Luckily it’s off by default or weblogs.com would be flooded.

    Gregory is right. Here’s the announcement at LJ:

    I also noticed that pitas.com is pinging now as well, but I only see them at blo.gs and not weblogs.com. Perhaps weblogs.com is not accepting their pings.
