BlogPulse (Continued)
First, i want all of you to know that i am not just talking up one of my portfolio companies here. I am genuinely intrigued by this BlogPulse service that I posted about last week.
The thing i like the best is the trend line tool.
To showcase what you can do, i decided to chart Shrek vs. Harry Potter. I threw my personal favorite Lord of the Rings in for good measure.
That is very compelling. There are lots of interesting meta-data capabilities that will accrue to the companies that execute "blog search" and its corollary services correctly. For example, these sorts of trend tools could provide the leading engines with a kind of "real time epinions", and one can imagine this data being invaluable to a host of organizations and individuals. This has probably been remarked upon by many a pundit, but it's only recently occurred to me. In any case, a very nifty service from Intelliseek.

The trend tool is great. My mind is spinning with its uses. (Still struggle with Typepad's trackbacks...) just did a post on buzz and open auction IPOs that used Blogpulse to chart Microsoft, Google and Alibris.
