Blog Tracking for Journalists

As the number of weblogs -- and their influence -- continues to grow, it's becoming increasingly important for journalists to keep an eye on them.
A free new tool, PubSub (http://www.pubsub.com), can help you monitor the blogosphere chatter and other online information in real time. PubSub scans more than 9 million weblogs, more than 50,000 Internet newsgroups, and all SEC (EDGAR) filings. In the coming months, the company plans to add more data streams.
PubSub can help journalists find new sources, anecdotes, trends, and more. For an idea of the types of things PubSub can help you monitor, check out the links on this page of sample subscriptions: http://www.pubsub.com/sample_subscriptions.php.
