BuzzTracker --To automatically generate news pages for a multitude of topics, both broad and narrow

What Company Is Offering:
Their goal has been to launch a news site that leverages the power of the "head of the long tail" of the blogosphere to automatically generate news pages for a multitude of topics, both broad and narrow. They currently are tracking 1,000 topics and 90,000 blogs.

How It Works:
On each page of BuzzTracker, you’ll see five content elements. The main content element is called Most Blogged — this analyzes the top blogs to determine the most blogged about story for that particular topic. This element is a great proxy for the “wisdom of the crowds” in terms of what is important for that topic. After the Most Blogged section we feature the Latest News, relevant stories for the topic sorted by recency. They have a search box which allows you to search throughout BuzzTracker to find items that may be of interest; both topic areas and individual posts and articles. Finally, we’ve integrated with both Flickr and YouTube to provide recent pictures and videos that match the topic in question.


BuzzTracker is looking for high quality blogs that feature original content and a regular frequency of postings. To have your blog considered for inclusion in BuzzTracker submit your blog using our online form.
