It's ages since I even bothered with Technorati. I believe the calculator depends on how many links are reported by them. I’m not sure. It’s ages since I even bothered with Technorati.

I wonder if the $7900 that my blog is supposedly worth is based on just the existing posts or if it assumes an indefinite stream of future posts. My guess is that it includes future posts. I'm not likely to sell my writing services indefinitely into the future for a mere $7900. I think I'll just continue blogging as long as I'm having fun. Thanks for including me in the list.

It's ironic that Get Rich Slowly is the richest blog of the bunch. My guess is the fomula relies on at least these two parameters:

The widget is based on figuring out how much each link to Weblogs is worth based on AOL's purchase price. Multiply that by the number of links reported by Technorati, et voila!, you get the worth of each blog. IIRC, AOL purchased Weblogs for $x.
