The New BlogPulse: More Data, Blog Profiles, A New Blog

You offered ideas and suggestions. The BlogPulse team listened.

BlogPulse's new look and new data points, debuting today, provide even deeper data and more meaningful statistics into what's happening, what's being discussed and where influence lies in the world of blogging.

Heck, the official press release isn't even out yet, and BlogPulse is already being scrutinized, including nods from BlogHerald and Marketing Vox.

What's new?
There's plenty of new daily data -- top blogs, top blog posts, top news stories and top news sources being cited, and they join the previous list of top links, key phrases and top people being blogged about. (Interesting to note that Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts, highly popular a day after his nomination, has been booted out of first place already by the late James "Beam Me Up, Scotty" Doohan, who died Wednesday).

Introducing...BlogProfile
Still in testing phases (patience, please?) is a totally new feature called BlogPulse Profiles, which adds metrics to the top-ranked 10,000 blogs, based on citations, posting and linking behavior. Find out how key blogs rank, examine posting and linking behavior, discover common phrases for specific blogs and learn which blogs are similar, based on content and other factors.

Let us entertain you, too
As they say in infomercial land, "and that's not all!" In addition to this weekday blog entry (now renamed BlogPulse Newswire), BlogPulse has an entertainment-focused blog called BlogPulse Spotlight, keeping users informed about movies, celebs, gossip, music, publishing, art, gaming, gadgets and all the other stuff that makes life, well, entertaining.
