Jacques Distler emailed me to note that the Technorati API is now returning data encoded in UTF-8. While that may not mean much to you, it does mean that if you are using my Technorati plugin to put the Technorati Link cosmos on your site and one of the links in your cosmos has certain characters in it, all sorts of things may break.
So I’ve updated the plugin to fix that problem and add a couple of minor changes to how it works. This should make things a bit more fault tolerant.
Apologies if we broke something here - the internal data in our databases has been utf-8 since late last year, so it only made sense to switch in the APi too (it is xml's default encoding these days). We could offer an embed-safe version by escaping all chars >127 in unicode, but that would bloat the data a lot if it is foreign-language heavy. Perhaps we could make this an option. Thanks for working with the Technorati API
