Technorati - Memeorandum mashup

I finally got a chance to explore the idea of storing API results in an OPML file. The window below shows the results in the Optimal Browser. You can also retrieve the raw OPML file here. To create this OPML file I took the list of blogs that my Ruby script has been collecting from Tech Memeorandum and searched the Technorati API with each blog's URL. I then combined the blog's rank, number of blogs linking in, and the most recent blog posts linking to the URL into a single OPML outline. I still have a number of programming details to work out, so I won't be pubishing the source code for this for another few days, but I will start describing all the details of the API calls and how to construct the OPML file on my mashup blog. One problem I discovered is that Technorati apparently limits the number of API calls per day, a fact that doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on their website. Until I can get someone there to raise this limit, I will have to leave this OPML file as it is. With a higher limit I hope to have it refreshing every hour.
