"We Can Make It Better... Faster... Stronger".
Restructuring Blogdex
"With a few more days to go before our annual research drive here at the Media Lab, I'm nearly done restructuring the backend. There might be some intermittant delays over the weekend when the final touches are instituted, and the data set is cleaned up....
- New design, which will inevitably cause some backlash :)
- Integrated link statistics, with more emphasis on diffusion (i.e. where a link started, where it went next, and so on), complete with charts (yay graphics!)
- A social weather index
- User surveys
- Historical index of blogdex ("a year ago today...")." [Blogdex, via The Virtual Acquisition Shelf and News Desk]
This is great news because as we're seeing with tools like TrackBack, the blogosphere needs more ways to track connections between bloggers and between relevant posts. Cameron's post is dated October 10 and the changes don't appear to be in place yet, but they should be soon. Go Cameron! [The Shifted Librarian]
