BlogPulse — 'Automated Trend Discovery'

The only discovery I was able to make after exploring this site is that it's too sophisticated for me to benefit from.

BlogPulse calls itself a "portal into the blogosphere."

It was created by veterans of Procter & Gamble to offer an instantaneous analysis of what's hot and what's not.

There's all sorts of stuff to do on the website as long as you're a person who's got some tech savvy, a skill sadly lacking here at bookofjoe headquarters.

All we ask of our crack research team trainees in the tech arena (FunFact: the training and probation period lasts two years — in case you were thinking about applying) is that they be able to turn on a computer.

BlogPulse features:

• Trend Tool — Create your own trend graphs

• Conversation Tracker — "Create a threaded view of a conversation graph from a link to a post or to any new article or URL"

• Analysis — Top links, key people and key phrases

According to the site 55,233 new blogs were created in the past 24 hours.
