<link>http://adage.com/article/power-150-blog/a-number-fixes-improvements-power-150/230075/</link>
<description><![CDATA[A little under two weeks ago, we pushed through a major update that                             replaced PostRank and Collective Intellect with Twitter and Facebook metrics. Since then, we&#039;ve gotten feedback from a lot of                             you and we&#039;ve made a number of                             bug fixes and improvements to the list, i]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s tough to lose friends, but we&#039;ve recently had to say goodbye to PostRank and Collective Intellect. They&#039;ve been great partners to work with -- and we&#039;re really still friends! -- but both providers have had to shut off their APIs, which we&#039;ve depended on for a good chunk of                                 our metrics in the Power 150.

<title><![CDATA[A Look Under the PostRank Hood]]></title>
<link>http://adage.com/article/power-150-blog/postrank-analytics-lets-score/141413/</link>
<description><![CDATA[We get plenty of emails from Power 150 bloggers asking us two questions: 1. How do I figure out where my PostRank score comes from, and 2. How do I improve it? With a new product from the folks at PostRank -- the company formerly known as AideRSS -- you can now drill down into a lot of the data yourself and find some answers.

<link>http://adage.com/article/power-150-blog/technorati-taking-a-leave-absence-power-150/139867/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Some of you may have noticed lately that Technorati has undergone a redesign, and they&#039;ve changed the way they calculate Authority. Like we do with PostRank -- ahem -- they now focus on the past 30 days&#039; worth of activity when counting links. It&#039;s a good move, and we like their idea for a new Topical Authority measure. The bad news is that they&#039;re ]]></description>

<link>http://adage.com/article/power-150-blog/google-pagerank-barely-knew-thee/138649/</link>
<description><![CDATA[As we mentioned in the last post, we&#039;ve been having issues with Google PageRank, and some blogs have been unfairly receiving zeroes from it lately. Today we fixed the problem by removing PageRank altogether.

Unfortunately, the method we were using to derive these scores no longer works, and we don&#039;t have a solution to make the metric worth keeping]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some of you may have noticed that your PageRank scores have dropped to zero lately, and you were probably a bit confused. So were we.

Since our code hasn&#039;t changed in weeks, it unfortunately seems that something has changed on the other end; we&#039;re certainly aware of the problem, and we&#039;re looking into fixing it. For those of you who have let us kn]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[About a month and a half ago, we introduced PostRank into the Power 150, and soon thereafter we switched over to a more nicely-scaled Power 150 that spreads people&#039;s point totals out more evenly across the board. Now we&#039;re taking advantage of both improvements in order to update our pre-evaluation system.

We&#039;ve had a 20-point barrier of entry sinc]]></description>

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Musicians from Q-Tip to Jimmy Eat World have discovered Twitter as a DIY means of engaging their fans, using the conversational medium to not only let people know they&#039;ll be in Tulsa this summer but make them feel personally involved enough to actually show up.
