Summary: I tried Waypath again. Formatting work in radio templates was undertaken with some initial success. But I made too little substantive progress; in short, I don't see the purpose of generating links that are only marginally related to the content of the entry, particularly when a carefully chosen google search for a well chosen phrase will get something more exactly to a reader's liking. The alternative, fagan finder, is set up in the right hand column so that a reader can paste in a phrase (or create a variation on one and then paste it in) and then conduct a search in a variety of spaces.

Conclusion: I've provided some workable tools and the content. There are already supportive follow-up tools (Google search and fagan finder). (6/7: And by a GoogleIt bookmarklet courtesy of Seb Paquet. Just highlight text in an entry and click the GoogleIt bookmarklet in your browser bar and the search is on!!)
However, there isn't yet easy access to my own topic space and the associated entries. I'll set that up using hot topics. Finally, I need to follow-up on first investigations of K-Collector as a rough and ready access to individual and group blog space as related to something more organized than a simple list of topics.

Summary: I work on the Waypath Buzz-0-meter( also BuzzMaker) . The essence of it is that you can analyze the blogosphere (published weblogs) for usage frequency of various words and phrases. For example, a one phrase search lead to a frequency graph and total count of mentions for Buzz-o-Meter. Buzz-o-meter itself has had 4500 mentions in the last 45 days .

Up to 5 items (5 words or 5 phrases (delimited by "") or any combination) can be counted an graphed over the last 45 days.

Here's a graph of mentions of male movie leads.

Here's another, but this time of female Bluegrass singers.

Here is a tracking ofWiki and CMS System mentions

And finally weblogging software labels are tracked.

Think of all blogs in the blogosphere as being a changing, whirling cloud of words and phrases, ideas, proclamations, pronouncements, etc. External forces mess with the heads of the bloggers and thus with the cloud. Some portions of the cloud are moved by interplay within and among bloggers. Others portions are changed because of public relations efforts of large corporate, oligopolistic enterprises which are working for maximum profitability -- even if a lack of respect is shown for the integrity of the thoughts and interrrelations of bloggers.

Looking at actor name recognition graphs, for example, we should expect to see obvious evidence of PR intrusion. Where concept/principle discussion precludes any obvious corporate interest in buying attention and opinion, then we might expect that words and phrases will rise and fall in use in proportion subtler forces which work among bloggers.

There seems to be evidence in graphs above for some bursts of intrusion into blogger cloud of interactions on or around May 1st (It seems obvious for actors and singers). It also seems that the timing of "Troy" publicity and progressive ramping up of Brad Pitt's listing level could be a at least a partial result of progressive ramping of advertisement intensity . WordPress has shown remarkable movement into the upper reaches of blogging softwares and Wikipedia has risen above other CMS entities in mention frequency.

Maybe nuff said. Seems like interesting possibilities are there for those who can come up with good questions for interesting groups of words and phrases.
