Jeremiah Owyang discusses how web tools and social media enable companies to connect with customers

Wow, lot’s of folks moving around…

December 13th, 2006 | Category: Web Industry

I love daytime drama…

1) Will Pate, Flocks’ Evangelist has decided to go part time, and probally move away from Flock, reports Chris Messina

2) Michael Arrington and Sam Sethi have hit a rough spot due to some blog posts regarding Les Blogs fiasco.  Sam is no longer blogging under the techcrunch name. Spunky Ben Metcalfe, has an outsiders view.
3) PodTech is lucky to have Tris Hussey, that I talked about yesterday..

So…who else is moving about?

    I like to go part time too but I am in Silicon Valley :)

    I found this tool that analyze blogosphere. This is your blog. No rank.

    Don’t worry. Your pal Robert Scoble has no rank too.

    And Gabe’s Techmeme has no rank. Would you considered it as blog while Techcrunch has ranking?

    Tell me what you think?

    “BlogPulse Profiles is a tool we created to answer the very simple question: “Who are these bloggers, how prolific are they, and is anybody paying attention?” Each profile contains basic information about a specific blog: its title, its URL/link, its rank (based on citations by other bloggers), how frequently the blog author posts new information and other data points.”

    I find the “Common keywords identified in recent posts” useful to see what keywords you used more often in your blog.

    I just run a trend to compare IE & Firefox in the blogosphere. It is interesting to note they both response, react and interact with bloggers.

    No. of post may not correlate to product performance. To those who familar with browser, IE 7 release is a interesting story.

    Jeremiah, I will drop notes from here to there on measurement and your podtech.net site surgery strategy.

    I am very busy in getting the browser meeting together “Browser War: Eposide II Attack of the DOMs”. I’ll take care of you on the “Back To The Future - Beyond Web 2.0″.

    After the interesting story on Google/Yahoo on IE browser page, Mozilla just release FireFox 3.0 today. Check out our site and see who we have so far.

    Oh, tell me if you find this tool useful. This will give me ideas on what other tools you may find useful or interesting.

    I find this tool that measure blog. It is Free. It sounds like very easy to add into blog template and add it to your blog network. It has visual presentation on

    1. Visits
    2. Post Views
    3. Post Commented
    4. Comments
    5. Search Engine
    6. Outbound links

    You can slide the bar to select the time range.

    Why it worth to try it. First of all, it is Free. For small blogs didn’t make any ranking on blogpulse, you can use it to improve your blog quality.
