Having a good source of topics that are popular in blogosphere can be very useful tool for inspiration. The question when evaluating such tools is how do they arrive to this information? Some, like techmeme, monitor a select set of blogs and news sources to find emerging topics, others like Digg relay on their users to vote on what’s most important to them.
We decided to also try our technology at calculating what’s most popular at the moment in a tool called Zemanta Popular. It’s an hourly list of the most recommended stories in our network. The theory is that we should show emerging stories almost as they are breaking.
There’s also an extra twist in it. Each story has a Reblog button next to it, so it’s easy for you to take a quote from that story and build your own perspective around it easily.
