Technorati Profiles
A new feature you may have noticed at Technorati is Member Profiles. They’re an easy way to find out more information about the people behind the weblogs. Anyone can become a Technorati member simply by signing up.
Once you’re a member, you can choose to give more information about yourself and the weblogs for which you are an author.
You can “claim” your weblogs by submitting the weblog URL and then adding a small HTML snippet to the front page of your weblog. Technorati verifies that you are indeed an author of the weblog by spidering your weblog, looking for the special code you placed on your weblog.
Once you’ve done this, your picture and profile will be associated with all links to your weblog in any Technorati Link Cosmos. We’re also working on a bunch of new features that will make writing (and reading!) weblogs more fun. Watch this space.
