Technorati not only includes internal links, but has duplicates. Example:

Getting Odd Results from the Beta API
Was playing with JiBot, on a request to http://apibeta.technorati.com/search?query=http%3A//anarkystic.com&start=0&format=xml&key=<key> It seems to just be returning the most recent posts anywhere. I realize this ought to be a cosmos call, but this behavior still seems incorrect.

That fancy character in the excerpt seems to be the cause of the problem, and it may simply be an expat related error, but AFAIK expat handles UTF-8 without problems.
