Created almost as a whim by programmer David L. Sifri,
<http://www.technorati.com> is one of the sites
that tracks links and commentary in the expanding
world of Web logs, called blogs for short. Blogs
are maintained by individuals, usually in their
spare time. Most are composed of links to other
Web pages, often with a dash of commentary attached.
A Web logger, or blogger, will se an interesting
item on the Middle East peace accords from Reuters,
then post a link to it on his blog, adding a few
sentences of endorsement or critique. Some bloggers
update their sites dozens of times a day.
[In <http://www.technorati.com>,] Sifry wanted to
have a better way of knowing when other bloggers
wrote about something from ... his blog. So he
built a tracking tool that scans Web logs, looking
for links pointing back to [his site].
Then Sifry decided it would be interesting to track
new links to other Web logs instead of just his
own. At last count, <http://www.technorati.com>
was scanning the activity of more than 900,000 blogs,
following more than 40 million active links.
[Sifry uses the ever-changing links to compile
automatic summary of evolving news.]
"It's pretty simple," he says. "Imagine that each
Web logger <http://www.technorati.com> tracks is
voting with his attention whenever he posts to his
Web log. We track all of these people's writings
and treat each blogger as part of a massive
collaborative news filter.
"There are about 4,500 professional news sources
that <http://www.technorati.com> has compiled on
the web, including "The New York Times, the Washington
Post, [and] ESPN.... Whenever a Web logger links
to a new article on one of those sources, that article
gets a vote.
"When a new article gets at least three votes from
different Web loggers, it goes on
<http://www.technorati.com>'s Breaking News."
