I continued to work a bit on stuff one could do with the Metatale data. As a result, here are 2 RSS-based widgets for Metatale, that you can embed on your site:
Top 100 in RSS format
The ATOM/RSS feed MetataleTop100 (through Feedburner) now lists all 100 blogs in the top 100 of Metatale. You can use it in your RSS reader (it’s in my Bloglines), show it on your blog (like my Metatale Flemish Top 20 page) or recycle it with Yahoo! Pipes or whatever. It’s RSS, so it’s easy to process.
I’ve included in each blog description: its place in the Top 100, its Metatale influence indicator (a number between 0 and 25, plus a graphical representation of it), a screenshot of the homepage, a link to check Pagerank and incoming Technorati links and one for a more comprehensive blog dashboard.
Search results in RSS format (a.k.a. What’s my score?)
I also have a way for you to show your own ranking on your blog. You can do a search for a keyword in the blog names (‘blog.forret.com’ or ‘forret’ would show mine, ‘wordpress’ will show all *.wordpress.com blogs like the image I’ve displayed here) and get the results in RSS. You can choose a ‘small’ or ‘short’ output format (without screenshot and links), because the screenshot is 270 pixels wide, and that might be too much of a good thing for some sidebars.
Use the following wizard to create the URL of your custom RSS feed:
For both applications: all suggestions are welcome!
UPDATE: because Clo asked me nicely: here’s a Javascript version of the widget:

One of Bart‘s secret projects has just launched: Metatale, an analysis tool to measure influence of Flemish blogs. What better way to start the buzz amongst Flemish bloggers than by publishing a top 100 of most influential blogs, our local alternative for Technorati Popular Blogs.

Too many URLs
I’d list everyone I’ve talked to yesterday, if only I could remember. Some random memories: Dramoghe is a girl, Hendrik has a beard, Sven has a nice blogless girlfriend (enchanté!), LittleQ is about my size without her shoes, Onnozelaar thought my age was 28 (thanks, but you should see me on the painting in the attic) and we ate looooooots of Crokidos!
Animation
1) a singer: I was drinking. 2) standup comedy: I was talking. 3) rappers: I was hanging out with Ine and Lien. There was one video of the Stew crew that I appreciated a lot:
How Twogirls, Dramoghe, KleineKeizerin, Onnozelaar are all created by one guy, a certain Abel Ransbottyn.
