Quake May Have Made Earth Wobble

Oddly Enough News Article | Reuters.com
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The deadly Asian earthquake may have permanently accelerated the Earth's rotation -- shortening days by a fraction of a second -- and caused the planet to wobble on its axis, U.S. scientists said on Tuesday.


Was this not recorded by geosynchronous sattelights? I would think that if there was any shift concerning rotation or angle of rotation would alter the tracking paths of satellites and other communication based sattelites.
