The TechTalk Top 25 (according to Technorati!)

Are you the top TechTalker on Tech Talk Blogs?  Who are the most authoritative bloggers here (according to Technorati)?

After scouring the TechTalkBlogs OPML, and searching for the rank of over 260 bloggers, here is the top 25 as per 29 July 2006.  I will probably do this at the end of every month, so we can see how everyone goes over time!

(TR = Technorati Rank)

1) William Computer Blog (TR 13)
2) Darren Rowse (TR 59)
3) James Farmer (TR 89)
4) Zookoda Blog (TR 7544)
5) Ben Barren (TR 8200)
6) Library Clips (TR 10838)
7) Frank Arrigo (TR 12851)
8) Nik Cubrilovic (TR 14035)
9) Cameron Reilly (TR 14125)
10) Rootprompt.org (TR 16285)
11) TinFinger (TR 21769)

22) Michael Kleef (TR 52403)
23) SplaTT (TR 54630)
24) Richard Giles (TR 54599) TIED
24) Delicate Genius (TR 54599) TIED

And just outside the top 25 we have David Glover, Paul Glavich, and Andrew Coates

Some of you are probably thinking to yourselves... why the hell aren't I there?? I am the one rocking blogger!  Well a few things I noticed whilst collating the data:

1) If you have not claimed your blog on Technorati, you don't get a rank (even if you have hundreds of inbounds links.. ahem Mr Logan I am talking to you!)
2) For some reason if your blog is on Spoke, you don't get ranked (some weirdness there I couldn't figure out)
3) Some addresses in the OPML may not be the same as the address people link to!

Ok, for those of you who will not sleep tonight until you find out where I sit... here we go!

again, love your work!

was this a manual process, or do you have a neat little tool that calls the technorati api and automates it all

No Frank... manual this time, only took 45 minutes... next time will be automatic :)
