Overall, a lot of people seem to have declining Technorati authority numbers; this has been noted around the blogosphere.  I've also removed a couple of blogs from tracking - if there hasn't been a post in the prior month, they're off the list.

As for specifics:  Kevin finally claimed his blog in Technorati and jumped into #1.   The Lonely Marketer was loved, jumping up 3 spots to #5.   Mario is changing feeds, which usually creates problems with subscriptions.  Andy Lark joins the list at #16.

Methodology:  The listings are blog title, blogger, company and [score].  Scores are a weighted calculation of Authority (20% Technorati ranking + 20% Google PageRank) + Attention (10% Alexa traffic) + Influence (50% Total feed subscribers).

Next update:  November 2007.  Additions are always welcome - please post links in comments.

Yay for Kevin and Patrick! Oh, yes, I am very familiar with Andy Lark's blog -- I never connected he worked at Dell.

Pete, Matt Dickman, David Armano & I were discussing the Technorati funniness tonight. Very strange. Thanks for the update and welcome to the new additions!

Yes, i'm sure someone at technorati hates me :-) I finally met a M20 alum at the Forrester consumer forum as I was on a panel with David Churbuck from Lenovo. Oh and of course, Peter Kim :-)
