Some days ago I was retaking a look to an experiment I made one year ago (november 7, 2005) using Technorati’s APIs. It allows to make simple calls to the BlogInfo API, and receive infos related to a particular blog (and other sites, too, if they have a certain number of inbound links).
First question I asked to me was: “Come lo riscriverei con le conoscenze acquisite oggi, poffarbacco?” (if I write in english so bad, don’t expect that i think in this language too)

(for you, friend with feedreader: the form works only on the blog)

If someone of you would to insert this in a post in his/her blog, the files are as always available for the

*considering that the query number limit is 500, and supposing that a blogger has 300 readers, each insert two blogs about aren’t request before the related informations (so could be make 600 different queries), the cache is (nota: don’t use the term “useless”) uninfluential.
