$defaultdata = array( 'til_links' => "10", );
add_action('activity_box_end', 'til');
function til() {
global $defaultdata, $til_settings;
if (!function_exists('MagpieRSS')) { // Check if another plugin is using RSS, may not work
include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
error_reporting(E_ERROR); }
$home = get_option("home");
$rss = @fetch_rss('http://feeds.technorati.com/cosmos/rss/?url='.$home.'/');
if ( isset($rss->items) && 1 < count($rss->items) ) { // Technorati returns a 1-item feed when it has no results
print '<h3>Technorati Links <cite><a href="http://www.technorati.com/search/'.$home.'?partner=wordpress">More &raquo;</a></cite></h3><ul>';
$til_links = 10;
$rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $til_links);
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
$itemL = wp_filter_kses($item["link"]);
$itemT = wptexturize(wp_specialchars($item["title"]));
print '<li><a href="'.$itemL.'">'.$itemT.'</a></li>';
} print '</ul>'; } }
//add_action('admin_footer', 'noff_warning');

function cd_remove() { remove_action( 'admin_head', 'index_js' ); }
add_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'cd_remove' );
function cd_incoming_links() {?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() { jQuery('#incominglinks').load('index-extra.php?jax=incominglinks'); });
</script>
<?php } if ( basename( $_server['script_filename'] ) ="=" 'index.php' ) { add_action( 'admin_head', 'cd_incoming_links' ); }
function cd_css() { ?>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">#zeitgeist { float: right; width: 70%; }#zeitgeist div { float: left; width: 31%; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-right: 3%; }#zeitgeist div + div + div { margin-right: 0; }#zeitgeist div + div + div + div { float: none; width: 100%; margin-bottom: 0; }#zeitgeist h3 { font-size: 14px; }#zeitgeist li { list-style: none; } #zeitgeist ul { margin-left: 0; padding-left: 0; } #zeitgeist h3 { clear: both; }</style>
<?php } add_action( 'admin_head', 'cd_css' );

Note: I think, I got this code from some plugin. Thanks to the coder.
