Building a better blogdex

January 13, 2003 3:38 PM

Memeufacture is a url aggregating service, such as Blogdex, but with human intelligence applied to the collection & categorization, such that links aren't merely ranked by popularity, but divided into categories such as Law, Politics (broken out by left & right), Design etc. There's no Religion (unless you count Apple), nor is the burgeoning world of sex blogs taken into account, but still, intriguing.

Very interesting, jonson - these blog aggregators seem to be breeding like rabbits...I was just at technocrati. Also, in an earlier thread today, All Consuming was mentioned - that's an aggregator that tells what bloggers are reading, and then extracts amazon data about the books being touted by the weblogs.

Memeufacture sorts by "influence" and Tecnocrati by "authority" - both are probably based on an analysis of inbound and outbound links.
