Description:
------------
Add capability to use a different User-Agent header sent to the Technorati server. Reason: non-standard UAs get sent old cached versions of responses, standard UAs (e.g. browsers) do not.

Do you have a source for that? Technorati are aware of this
package so if they're sending bad responses I'd like to ask
them to fix that.

I'll look into making the user agent an instance variable so
it can be changed, but I'm not sure that it merits a new
method.

In the next version of Services_Technorati the user agent will be a static class variable so that the user can change it, but I still haven't seen a source for the claim that non-standard UAs will get bad responses.
