Google Launches own Memetracker
Techtree News Staff, Oct 03, 2008 1406 hrs IST
The new home page for Google's Blog Search resembles Techmeme's interface.
Google has introduced a new home page for its Blog Search that resembles the popular news aggregator Techmeme's interface. The aim is the same - top stories from various topics are displayed as soon as they are up on blogs/websites worldwide.
For those who are not well-versed with memetrackers, this Wikipedia write up should help. In short, memetrackers are the most popular and usually, the best way to keep track of breaking news stories around the world. They are designed to monitor multitudes of news sources at once from multiple sources and aggregate them under one common banner.
As for how successful the latest Google venture might turn out to be, well that depends on how well the service performs. New York Times too had jumped into the memetracker bandwagon back in 2007 - with uninspiring results. The service known as Blogrunner has been largely ignored owing to the popularity and quickness of Techmeme. For Google to make any impact in this segment, they ought to play smart and the tool should be able to at-least offer everything what Techmeme does and probably, even more. Check out the new service here.
