Well, it appears that Technorati is somewhat recovered from its earlier dysfunction (see here). However, it is far from all the way up. I still need to manually ping it to get posts to appear and I don’t trust my authority and rank numbers anymore. Never mind the cries for help, satisfaction, and justice I hear that still go unanswered by Technorati support.
Because I’m on a WordPress-hosted blog, I can’t use some analytics packages, but I’m looking to move beyond Technorati. I’ve found at least three reasonably-useful sites thanks to Sara at Pajama Professional (post here).
Xinu Returns pulls together a good summary of ratings — especially the backlinks — from a variety of social media sites. I’ve found it useful to use CubeStat or Website Outlook in conjunction with Xinu Returns, mostly to validate my pageviews/day (which are incomplete in WordPress-hosted stats).
Any other sites/approaches to recommend?

Thanks Paul- I’ve been looking for new ways to get the word out too. Will share if I find any others.
