LINK COSMOS

· Friday, July 11, 2003 · 2 comments

I have implemented Kevin Aylward’s Technorati Link Cosmos tracker on OTB. I’d prefer an API that actually put the results on the main page, like the TrackBack enhancement I got from Kevin does, but this lower-tech version has the virtue of simplicity.

    There actually is a Technorati API – you can get all of the functionaily that is available on the site via API calls, and plugins already exist for most major blogging tools. Go to http://developers.technorati.com/wiki to get more details, or drop us a line at fe******@te********.com and I’ll be happy to point the way to the full API documentation.

    Thanks for using and enjoying Technorati!

    Thanks, Dave. I’ll have to fool around with it a bit when I’ve got more time. I inserted the code into my template but didn’t get it to work. I tried to install a different Technorati API the other day and had trouble as well.
