Google Joins Blog News Trackers – Still Doesn’t Rate
Writing by Blog Marketing Journal on Friday, October 3, 2008 Comments Off
Google Blog Search has become a blog news tracker similar to Techmeme, however rather than focus on a particular niche, Google is using an ‘all world’ approach combining news blogs and standard blogs.
Cnet have posted a good comparison of seven news trackers, some new and some old. The news trackers examined include:
- Google Blog Search
- Techmeme
- Blogrunner
- Newspond
- Technorati
- Topix
- Megite
All seven have their uses as they collect and present news blogs in different ways. Google Blog Search incorporates a little of the Google Trends technology to show how ‘hot’ a story is.
As a blogger they all represent a great resource for discovering new content, references to support an argument you are trying to present, or simply for inspiration should you get stuck for content. They can also be a good place to check if you think you are about to ‘break’ a new story.
