<summary type="html" ><![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]]></summary>

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.

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.
