BlogPulse BlogBites
http://www.blogpulse.com/

BlogPulse has a new section called "BlogBites". It presents the burstiest themes in blogosphere (sort of the most popular, new stories culled and mined automatically from blogs). In a single page, one is able to see a picture of the top themes / stories covered by bloggers on a given day. An example of this would be as follows:

BlogBites for September 24, 2003
http://www.blogpulse.com/03_09_24/keyTopics.html

Interestingly, my entry on the semantic web was picked as a representative entry for this popular theme covered overall by bloggers yesterday.

BlogPulse Key Phrases, Key People, BlogBites, and Top Links are mined daily from new entries in over 80,000 weblogs using machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques. BlogPulse mines for bursty phrases and person names instead of for the most popular ones. The most popular phrases and names change very slowly over time. The burstiest phrases and names are those whose frequency of occurrence has increased significantly over the past two weeks, often dramatically. Sep 24, 2003: BlogPulse crawled 82449 blogs, 19489 contained new entries. BlogPulse has also improved the phrase burst algorithms to give a more accurate sense of the "Key phrases" on a given day! Excellent job BlogPulse team!!
