T2RXVVWCPVBT Technorati claim code

I'm currently claiming this blog on Technorati, the claiming code is T2RXVVWCPVBT. I wonder why Technorati ask me top put this code into my post?

They say ...


"We realize that putting this odd code text into your feed means that all of your feed followers (and perhaps Twitter, Facebook, and other sites) will see it, but it's the best method we've found so far to demonstrate to us that you control the blog. You can remove the code once the claim is complete."
