Technorati via Txp

Via funkaoshi comes a link to a Technorati Cosmos plugin for Textpattern. Combined with tag functionality, (also see much discussion at the forum and Burning Bird’s tagback effort) this plugin makes for some pretty tight integration with Technorati. (The author, whose blog is lovely and largely in Italian—which itself is lovely—has also written a WYSIWYG editing plugin for Txp. Mad skills. Abilite arrabbiarsi? Probably not quite right.)

Also on the subject of tags, Jonas Luster has lately been doing some neat tinkering: He’s using Yahoo[!]’s term extraction API to automatically extract tags from posts in Wordpress and display them as links to Technorati tags.

  1. Well, it looks like you’ve just decided my toy of choiche for this weekend :)

  2. Oh and “Mad skills” doesn’t directly translate to italian, it would be something like “bravo da matti”, but we don’t really use it.

  4. Ah, indeed you’re right, Steve. I was using ye olde English spelling: What See-est Ye is Seeing Yon Gotten. Or something. Corrected.

    Michelle, if “bravo da matti” isn’t quite right either, Is there an alternative phrase that I should use when complementing my barista?
