Technorati intrdouces Authority feature

By Ashish Mohta

While talking to Ben from Instigator blog, I came across his post of technorati, It seems technorati people have changed the features. Instead of incoming links , there is a new feature called as “Authority”. No its not the same as incoming links. The incoming links don’t show up unless you do a search of your blog. Till now technorati people havent told what it is about but as far as I am guessing its some kind of ranking system.

Why this feature came up, there could be one reason, “Technorati Fav exchange” that happened few days back (Even I participated). Due to this lot of popular blogs were thrown off the seat. They have changed Favourati feature to My Fans which is good.I am including the sanp shots of my technorati and see how it looks.

This seems to be a cool feature, I like the interface pretty cool as it much neater. But The authority thing seems to be some kind of ranking mechanism which must be based on 2-3 factors. What do you think about it? For some of the blogs the technorati rank has gone up…I don’t see much of change on mine Do you see any ? Discuss it in comments
