Could auto-posting RSS feeds to twitter + identi.ca be causing
                         indexing problems?

  I autopost new local business listings to [1]identi.ca, which
  autoposts to twitter about every two hours. I have a large
  following on twitter from the local business community who are
  thrilled at the service I provide, as it helps get new
  businesses "out there". *(my site is of local scope - the
  Collier County, Florida area). Everything was dandy 'til a few
  weeks ago when the business pages started disappearing. *My
  people are saying, "Hey, how come my page from your site doesn't
  show up in Google anymore?" And I can't answer them. *Many of
  the pages are simple -- name of business, business address,
  owner name, owner address, sometimes with a rating and/or a
  review. It used to do quite well, but lately there's been a
  continual dropping. Is the autoposting to [2]identi.ca + twitter
  the problem, or is it thin content for those pages or perhaps
  something else? My site is <a rel-"me"

  another sample with a slightly different format is: <a

  But the most important part of the content is the Title and
  Introduction fields, which also appear in the RSS feeds as title
  / description. I categorize the businesses when I am able and I
  have hReview setup in microformats to assist google when they
  are rated. Please give advice. *I know I can't rank for EVERY
  local business, but many local folks are counting on me to help
  -- and I don't charge a penny for my service. (and I direct
  them, on EVERY business listing page to ALSO be sure to include
  their business listings on Yelp + on Google Local Business
  Center) So, to reiterate -- does Google frown upon posting the
  titles of rss feed entries to [9]identi.ca and /or Twitter?
  Thanks! Kenneth Udut Naples, Florida   === Well, I can certainly
  turn off the feeding of [10]identi.ca + twitter. *People who are
  interested are already members of my community anyhow. Business
  directory pages are tricky, even with a business description.
  I've fed Google maps with geocoded business addresses, which it
  seems to like and has helped the findability of the local
  businesses (and I'm hoping that Google will decide to create
  business pages for these folks so as to improved their
  visibility on the internet). I just haven't quite figured out
  the best way to go about it. I'll turn off the feeding of
  [11]identi.ca + twitter for a few days and see if it brings
  improvement or not. Thanks! == I just noticed that last month, I
  entered the foray into the CommonTag and modified ALL of the
  category tags on my site to reflect it. *Perhaps the "markup to
  content" ratio is off (since that requires a LOT of markup to
  work. I'll take that new stuff out for a week or so to see if it
  just made things too messy. Supporting the future semantic web
  *is* important to me, but not at the possible expense of Google
  "liking" my site the way it used to.
