Technocrati

The concept behind Technocrati is interesting, and I like the idea of assigning authority to blogs to help readers discern their worth. Unfortunately, I don't think I am a big fan of the way in which that "authority" is measured. While I think that measuring the number of blogs that link to any other can certainly help one to determine if a blog is popular, I don't necessarily think that popularity in this sense can be viewed as authority in the way that we are used to thinking of it. Beyond that, I can see how this measurement could prove useful for those wishing to see what all the other sheepole are viewing... OK so maybe some of that is just sour grapes because I only have an authority ranking of 2...
