As per Rich, I am also waiting until the various bugs with the new authority measurement are fixed. I doubt however that Technorati will be able to complete with Google Blog search even with the new ranking algorythm. Nice article.

I put in an inquiry at Technorati on the support page. No response. No response from their Twitter account, either. That's not very professional - or credible.

When I see the conversationagent.com sporting an authority of 1, things cannot be all that accurate. I also wonder if the weight considers readers in the final analysis. Right now, it's all a mystery. Personally, I never cared much for Technorati measures but did find it in an easy way to recognized links with a widget that I have since removed (the links no longer go anywhere). The result was dropping 411 to 125. A pulse indeed. All my best, Rich All my best, Rich I’m reserving comment until the bugs are worked out of this one Geoff.

I used tweets as just one example. The social web is a bit of a jungle -- networks, sites, and apps rise and fall in popularity regularly, or get acquired, or disappear. Sites that are de rigueur in one part of the world may be completely unknown elsewhere. Some popular ones, like Facebook, don't offer APIs, so the picture's never perfect. The bottom line, really, is that good analytics, authority rankings, etc. aren't something you can just knock off in a week, or build once and then let lie fallow. Definitely looking forward to seeing how Technorati evolves from this point. (And more info on their ranking recipe would be nice, too.) :) Very true. I used tweets as just one example.
