 <title>Technorati&#039;s Top 500 and Other Milestones</title>
 <link>http://www.commoncraft.com/technoratis-top-500-and-other-milestones</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;First, let me say that I&amp;#39;ve been known to unsubscribe from blogs that become too self-congratulatory.  It bugs me and I&amp;#39;m constantly aware of it here on Common Craft.  That being said, this post may appear that way, as I&amp;#39;m about to share some rankings, numbers, etc. So please bear with me - we&amp;#39;re both excited to share.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just recently we hit a milestone in terms of our ranking on Technorati - the top 500.  As you may know, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/&quot;&gt;Technorati&lt;/a&gt; tracks the links between blogs.  A &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/help/faq.html#ranking&quot;&gt;Technorati Rank&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; is a ranking of blogs based on the number of sites that link to it.   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.technorati.com/blogs/www.commoncraft.com?reactions&quot;&gt;Common Craft&amp;#39;s technorati rank&lt;/a&gt;  recently broke into the top 500, meaning that, according to Technorati, we are the 498th most linked-to blog on the web. That seems unreal to me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1095/1286931700_771559e1bd_o.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Along with Technorati rank is &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/weblog/2007/05/354.html&quot;&gt;Technorati Authority&lt;/a&gt;, seen above in green. Authority is a count of the number of sites linking in the &lt;em&gt;last 6 months&lt;/em&gt;. We recently broke the 2000 level on authority - which is pertinent now because it was nearly 6 months ago that we published the &lt;a href=&quot;/rss_plain_english&quot;&gt;RSS in Plain English&lt;/a&gt;  video. So, those links are about to expire - meaning our Technorati authority be begin to expire (erode?) soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking of the RSS video, it recently reached a milestone too.  The blog entry on this site reached it&amp;#39;s 100,000th view.  We happened to notice it about to click over and took this screen shot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1287/1286931564_a07daf0729_o.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, this is a count of page views.  The RSS video has been viewed over 220,000 times across &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU&quot;&gt;You Tube&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dotsub.com/films/inplainenglish/index.php&quot;&gt;DotSub&lt;/a&gt;  and &lt;a href=&quot;http://blip.tv/file/205570&quot;&gt;Blip.tv&lt;/a&gt;. It is, by far, the leader in terms of visibility - and our most amateur work. It has been Dugg just shy of &lt;a href=&quot;http://digg.com/software/RSS_in_plain_English&quot;&gt;1000 times&lt;/a&gt;, added to del.icio.us over &lt;a href=&quot;http://del.icio.us/url/73d31305341abb05468056178a3f9f1d&quot;&gt;1200 times&lt;/a&gt;  and translated in to over &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dotsub.com/films/inplainenglish/index.php&quot;&gt;20 languages&lt;/a&gt;  on DotSub. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, these are all things &lt;em&gt;you did&lt;/em&gt;, dear reader.  We owe you, big time.  Thanks so, so much - and sorry for the ego stroking, we&amp;#39;ll keep it to a minimum. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just recently we hit a milestone in terms of our ranking on Technorati - the top 500.  As you may know, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/&quot;&gt;Technorati&lt;/a&gt; tracks the links between blogs.  A &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/help/faq.html#ranking&quot;&gt;Technorati Rank&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; is a ranking of blogs based on the number of sites that link to it.   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.technorati.com/blogs/www.commoncraft.com?reactions&quot;&gt;Common Craft&amp;#39;s technorati rank&lt;/a&gt;  recently broke into the top 500, meaning that, according to Technorati, we are the 498th most linked-to blog on the web. That seems unreal to me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1095/1286931700_771559e1bd_o.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Authority is a count of the number of sites linking in the &lt;em&gt;last 6 months&lt;/em&gt;. We recently broke the 2000 level on authority - which is pertinent now because it was nearly 6 months ago that we published the &lt;a href=&quot;/rss_plain_english&quot;&gt;RSS in Plain English&lt;/a&gt;  video. So, those links are about to expire - meaning our Technorati authority be begin to expire (erode?) soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking of the RSS video, it recently reached a milestone too.  The blog entry on this site reached it&amp;#39;s 100,000th view.  We happened to notice it about to click over and took this screen shot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1287/1286931564_a07daf0729_o.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, this is a count of page views.  The RSS video has been viewed over 220,000 times across &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU&quot;&gt;You Tube&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dotsub.com/films/inplainenglish/index.php&quot;&gt;DotSub&lt;/a&gt;  and &lt;a href=&quot;http://blip.tv/file/205570&quot;&gt;Blip.tv&lt;/a&gt;. It is, by far, the leader in terms of visibility - and our most amateur work. It has been Dugg just shy of &lt;a href=&quot;http://digg.com/software/RSS_in_plain_English&quot;&gt;1000 times&lt;/a&gt;, added to del.icio.us over &lt;a href=&quot;http://del.icio.us/url/73d31305341abb05468056178a3f9f1d&quot;&gt;1200 times&lt;/a&gt;  and translated in to over &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dotsub.com/films/inplainenglish/index.php&quot;&gt;20 languages&lt;/a&gt;  on DotSub. &lt;/p&gt;
