BlogPulse Debuts BlogPulse Live
 BlogPulse, a provider of blog search and blog analysis tools, has announced the launch of BlogPulse Live. BlogPulse Live provides a real-time view of the most popular topics the blogosphere.
Powered by a behind-the-scenes tool we lovingly refer to as FloodGate, BlogPulse Live provides a real-time, minute-by-minute view of the most popular topics that bloggers are writing about. Each topical line represents a percentage of all blog posts as they're published (Eastern time). Click on the small chart on the home page for a larger view.
Here's how it works: BlogPulse Live captures new blog entries, and then text-mining and text-analysis technologies categorize the posts into key subject areas, such as "Diaries" (personal journals), "Politics," "Movies/TV," "Technology," "Sports," "Health," "Religion," "Meme," (online game/activity/quiz that's circulated by/among bloggers) "Food" and more.
BlogPulse Live should be most interesting when there is breaking news or an event with significant coverage like this weekend's Super Bowl. The BlogPulse post about the launch of BlogPulse Live also provided a link to a cool 3-D visualization of the blogosphere from Intelliseek senior research Matthew Hurst. The visualization is explained in this post.

Blog Ranking Tools Favor Recent Inbound Links
The newer ranking tools like BlogPulse.com and PubSub.com track inbound links over the past thirty days. And Technorati recently altered its inbound link calculations to allow blogs that have been more popular in the last six months to rank higher.
Older blogs created before 2005 that are coasting by on old inbound links better get to work on posting and obtaining new inbound links or they may eventually find themselves absent from the blog ranking lists.
The new ranking systems that look at short-term popularity also
offer a huge opportunity for the mainstream media to make headway
in the blogpshere. Most mainstream media outlets just launched
blogs for the first time this year. They can put their new blogs on
BlogPulse.com and Technorati and eventually work their way
into the various A-lists. This is already happening on Technorati 100
with sites like CNET Japan and FoxSports.com listed that were not
there several months ago. And if you look at the Top Bloglines Feeds more and more of them are MSM feeds including the New York
Times, CNET, Slate, Reuters, CNN, Fast Company, Rolling Stone, Variety,
About.com and WSJ.com -- just to name a few.

BlogPulse.com Launches Blog Profiles Beta
BlogPulse.com has announced the launch of some very interesting new features including a tool called BlogPulse Profiles that allows people to obtain data about individual blogs including popularity, posting frequency and incoming links.
The blogs are ranked by the number of citations over the
last 30 days. This is very different than the Technorati
rankings which ranks blogs by the total number of
blogs that link to them. Blogs will need to have continuous
incoming links from blogs to stay in the top 10,000 on
BlogPulse.com. It is interesting to note that Boing Boing
is ranked #3 on BlogPulse.com with Engadget.com currently ranked in the #1 spot. On Technorati, Boing Boing holds the #1 position firmly with a very large lead -- it has nearly 5,000 more incoming links than Instapundit.com, the #2 blog. BlogPulse.com's popularity measurements will clearly push out blogs that don't continue to get citations on a regular basis and boost the rankings of blogs that get frequent citations.
Here are some of the other features provided by
the new BlogPulse.com tool.
Overview: The Overview page lists the blog's name and website address as
well additional information for the top-ranked blogs.
Only the top 10,000 blogs have an overview feature showing
ranking, posting frequency and a rank trend graph. If you look at
the BloggersBlog.com
overview you can see the rank by citation count, post frequency
and a graph showing the change in ranking over time.
Posts: The Posts section shows the blog's ten most recent posts as well
as some of the keywords used in these recent posts.
Citations: The Citations tab lists recent citations (links to the blog)
from top-ranked blogs at the top of the page and then recent
citations from all blogs at the bottom of the page.
Trends: The Trends tab provides graphs showing the posting volume over time and
the number of citations over time.
Sources: This Sources section lists recent sources cited by the blog including
news articles, blog entries and other sources.
Neighborhood: The Neighborhood feature shows a list of ten
other blogs that cite similar links and text.
BlogPulse.com has also provided a faq for the new profiles tool which can be found here. BlogPulse.com also offers two blogs covering blogging: the BlogPulse Newswire, which covers blogosphere trends, and the BlogPulse Spotlight, which covers celebrity and entertainment blogging trends.
