Bloglines Indexes Half a Billion Blog Posts and Feed Articles
AskJeeves has announced that its Bloglines service is indexing
over half a billion blog posts and news feed articles. Found via
Blogspotting. From the press release:
Bloglines' milestone reflects the meteoric rise in popularity of
blogs as a new communication channel, the development of RSS-type
technologies for content syndication, and the creation of user-friendly
newsreaders to simplify the process of subscribing to blogs and news
feeds of interest. Between January and June of this year, the size of
the Bloglines index doubled. And each day Bloglines adds 2 million
to 2.7 million new blog and news feed articles to the database, drawn
from a diverse range of sources in many languages -- from blogs
about knitting to major online newspaper feeds.
Bloglines also recently promised that it will deliver a major blog
search tool later this summer.
