MTTechnorati

With the public release of the Technorati API today, I figured I would take a few minutes and start wrapping a plugin around it. Here's what I've got so far.

Download one of these files, unpack it, and place technorati.pl in your plugins/ directory.

The following tags are available:

MTTechnoratiCosmos: container tag for the Link Cosmos that Technorati generates.
MTTechnoratiCosmosName: name of the weblog from which the link was generated.
MTTechnoratiCosmosUrl: url of the weblog.
MTTechnoratiCosmosRssUrl: url of the rss feed of the weblog.
MTTechnoratiCosmosExcerpt: excerpt containing the link.

Usage Example:

<MTTechnoratiCosmos>
<a href="<MTTechnoratiCosmosUrl>"><MTTechnoratiCosmosName></a>:
<MTTechnoratiCosmosExcerpt><br />
</MTTechnoratiCosmos>

Minor (but Important) Update:

You will be required to get your own API key from Technorati . You should be able to do so just by signing up (no cost to you). I have been unable to myself, but I imagine that is mostly due to user error. :) (Nevermind, I found it)
When you get it, place the key on line 22 of the plugin file, between the single quotation marks.
