Intelliseek starts Weblog tracker
First there was the Web. Then came Weblogs.
Now Intelliseek of Over-the-Rhine says it has launched www.BlogPulse.com, a free search-and-tracking tool to measure and rank chatter about issues, people, phrases and links on the million-plus blogs. Bloggers themselves can use the site to determine hot blogs and the popularity of their own blogs.
