Kevin Burton just turned me on to BlogPulse—a site that mines the date from 80,000 weblogs for phrases and person names, then presents the info via a blog site and XML feeds.
UPDATE: JD picked right up on this.
In playing with it a little, my sense that it reflects the wonderful randomness of the blogosphere is confirmed–see this link for a sense of that (let’s assume it will work for more than an hour)., Also find the international flavor of the results interesting…Anita Mui, the top person of the moment, is from Hong Kong, for instance.
Weds am: Francois G just asked me to fix a typo in the BP url-so much for typing late at night.-thx, F.
