About: Blogdex

An Entity of Type: work, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Blogdex was an online resource for understanding hot topics of discussion in the blogosphere. The site offered a time-weighted list of links to online content cited by more than one monitored blog in the recent past. Each link received a score based both on the number of different blogs citing it and the recency of those citings; the list thus typically features both popular oddities of the day as well as informative and/or controversial source material for current topics of public debate. Despite its explicit focus on blogs, it can be thought of as the original memetracker, and the inspiration for later commercial sites such as tailrank.com, Digg.com, and other social media sites.
