Wordbursting redux (and then some): Daypop has a page tracking
Word Bursts: "Word Bursts are heightened usage of certain words in weblogs within the last couple days. They are indicators of what webloggers are writing about right now....Word Bursts can frequently indicate current events of interest that are not usually accompanied by links."
They also track "newsbursting" on their
Top News Bursts page. "News Bursts are heightened usage of certain words on the front page of news sites within the last couple days."
And: "The
Daypop Top 40 is a list of
links that are currently popular with webloggers from around the world." There are also
Top News and
Top Weblogs pages, which track the popularity of news stories and of blogs themselves by number of appearances in other blogs.
