Import your Google Reader Feeds into Technorati Favorites

Posted in Blogging, Technology by User ImageDouglas Karr at 8:00 am

One of the factors of Technorati’s ranking algorithm is how many other bloggers have saved your blog as a favorite in their Technorati account (you can add mine here).

If your using Google Reader or another Feed Reader, there’s actually a pretty simple way to add all of your favorites, though! You can export your OPML file from your reader and simply import it into Technorati:

Exporting an OPML from Google (lower left link):

GREAT tip!

I’ve been wondering how to do this, and I was thinking about doing an app.

My only thought is that this probably doesn’t handle Feedburner feeds properly?

Hi Engtech!

If the feed specified in Technorati matches the Feedburner feed it will. It’s just doing a direct match between the feed address in your OPML file and in Technorati.

Thanks!
Doug
