Reference Tracking Via Technorati, Feedster, and Bloglines

1 views

I was listening to the Jan 14th Gilmor Gang a little while ago. This is the first time I've listened to the show. I Adam Bosworth, had to say. In the part of the conversation, they discussed something I do frequently: look for references to my blog posts on the three services that provide this feature in a somewhat timely fashion: Feedster, and my blog by visiting its Mark's capabilities as a developer and architect. Based on what I've seen, I'd guess that Technorati has the largest index (the give out the number on their home page), followed by Feedster and Bloglines. So I Ask This leaves me with two questions to ask:

  1. What have your experiences been?
  2. Has anyone built a tool that tracks the speed, freshness, and comprehensiveness of the three services? I know that tools like this exist for web search.
  3. It'd be interesting to simply measure the lag time in the index updates (freshness) for each service. I'd probably use Jeremy Zawodny's blog. Jeremy is part of the Yahoo search team and frequently posts in the Jeremy Zawodny's blog
