MP Blog Tracker
Posted on | August 31, 2005 |
Blogging Tories member Stephen Taylor is working on yet another handy tool he calls the MP Blog Tracker.
I’ve been working on a new tool that ranks Canadian MPs by the buzz that they’ve generated in the blogosphere.Technorati is a website that tracks over 16.2 million blogs (at the time of this writing). The difference between a search engine such as Technorati and Google is that Technorati indexes posts as they happen. Therefore, the website provides a live look at the current buzz surrounding any query.
I’ve written a program that queries Technorati’s search engine with the names of each of the 302 currently sitting MPs. The program receives the number of posts that discusses each MP and then sorts them in descending order.
This is a great tool that I know I’ll sure make use of. Excellent work Stephen. Dare I say it? - yet another reason why the Blogging Tories continue to be “The envy of the copycats”…
