What is Technorati Authority and is it important?

I'm seeing the request for site ranks for Alexa, Technorati, Klout and Google all over.  Reviewers, what are your thoughts about these ranks and the best ways to get a good ranking?

I recently signed up for Technorati and have to verify my blog claim TVVSQ8CTGKTQ


What is Technorati Authority exactly? 

"•Technorati Authority measures a site's standing & influence in the blogosphere. With the October 2009 redesign of technorati.com, we’ve changed the Technorati Authority calculations to better reflect the continually changing attention of the blogosphere.

•We have also added a new measure of Technorati Authority, which is topical by content category, i.e., technology, movies, automotive, etc."

It seems they are all important in their own ways...mostly to the person who is asking for them! I personally like Alexa the best, its easy to use and get stats. We don't have a google rank yet because our blog is only 5 months old..but many people are looking for the coveted google rank, so I'd say its pretty important to aspire too!

I know it's important to have a good rank. I don't have a google ranking yet either but this blog isn't that old yet either and from what I've read meta-tags have a lot to do with it...could be getting facts mixed up but I'm fairly sure this is part of or most of how to rank. Well, it's a work in progress but I'm an eager beaver so I will keep plucking away at improving.
