Technorati just turned on a new feature: if you are searching Technorati, for, say “Technology” blogs you get a choice: you can see them all, or you can see the ones that have a lot of “authority” in that space. I didn’t see that feature over the weekend, so I think Dave Sifry and crew just turned that on (look for a slider at the top of the results — click it to change the kind of result you get back). I’m not sure how useful it is, but if you search on a general term like, say, “photography” it does seem to bring back results with less noise. But, maybe you want more noise. Well, it’s up to you now! You’re the gatekeeper! I’ll play more with it later. What do you think?
Update: it sure gets rid of a lot of noise on my ego search. Oh, my ego feels good now! 
Jason DeFillippo and Niall Kennedy, just got their “authority” delisted.

[...] Desde ayer Technorati permite que los resultados de las búsquedas que realices en su motor puedan ser “ajustadas” por “autoridad”; ahora cuando la autoridad es derivada de la suma de links en realidad es popularidad y Steve Rubel hace un excelente post sobre el tema: Does this mean Britney Spears is an authority too just because she’s popular?… Yet, in a Google society links convey authority in our mind. Honestly, links are temporary. Authority to me sounds more permanent. This connotes that Boing Boing’s the most authoritative site on the Web, according to Technorati. Sure, it’s an awesome blog, but can you tell me what they’re an authority about? [...]
[...] UPDATE: I don’t claim to an authority weighted blogger, all I know is that most of these technorati links are bogus and that is BS! Technorati, data_ownership Save this story to your del.icio.us account [...]
[...] Robert Scoble points out that Technorati has taken a shot at the problem, though. They’ve quietly released an “authority” slider to allow results to be filtered. See results anywhere from all blogs, to just blogs with hundreds of links. They assign authority to a post based on how many links a blog has. The image below shows the slider at the top and the text within the imagedescribes how it works. [...]

[...] Technorati recently introduced a “filter by authority” feature to their blog search. The idea, from CEO Dave Sifry’s blog, is to “[make] it easy to refine a search and look for either a wider array of thoughts and opinions, or to narrow the search to only bloggers that have lots of other people linking to them. This gives you the power to decide how much filtering you want.”Scoble, Steve Reubel, and TechCrunch all offer opinions. It’s worth reading the comments for each entry. [...]

IMO, Technorati needs to weigh incoming blog counts by their ‘Authority.’

I’m still stumped as to how so many purely spam blogs have a relatively high authority. What’s going on there?

It is fascinating how “authority” has taken over the blogosphere and web, in general. It is re-defining what is news, really.
Great insight!

I am still unable to understand how people with websites have thousands of authorities.
Can anyone throw light on this??

For my blog http://nmarketers.com it was showing “No Authority yet” for a long time. Now I started commenting on others and my Authority raised to 20. thanks for the help
