PressTags.com – What Bloggers Write About

February 16, 2011

Knowing what to write about is a never-ending concern for new bloggers. They know that the sooner they hit their stride, then the more traffic they will generate and the more profitable their blogs will turn out to be.

Up until today, there was really no direct way to find what has been trending on WordPress blogs the world over. But a new service named PressTags has been released in order to change that.

The PressTags website presents itself as an ordered index of the trending topics on the blogosphere. It all looks very similar to how Twitter presents its trending topics to users, and there is really nothing wrong with that – both sites are offering comparable information, only that in different contexts.

And a plugin is available, letting you see what other bloggers are writing about in real time. In this way, you will be able to modify any post that you are creating on the fly, and have a real fighting chance to be up there with the biggest online newsbreakers.

SiteNextDoor.com – Find Sites Similar To Yours

October 18, 2010

Site Next Door is a search engine that will enable you to find sites that could be deemed as similar or related to your own, or to any site that you decide to center your search on.

This can be useful in lots of different contexts.

For example, you can look up a site that is “next door” to the news portal that you visit the most often, and find alternatives when it comes to remaining informed.

On the other hand, you can use such a search mechanism in order to learn about competitors that are entering the market. In that case, all you will have to do is to key in the name of your own site to learn about these new names you should watch out for.

Note that searches can actually be launched in two ways – by inputting the URL of the site to be taken as the model for the search, and by providing a text with the main concepts to be weighed up. In that case, you will be allowed to type up to 100 characters.

Beta.BookLamp.org – Like Pandora But For Books

August 30, 2010

A service that is currently in public beta, Book Lamp intends to do for lovers of literature what a site like Pandora does for music listeners. Book Lamp will take your tastes into account and find authors that write in the way you enjoy.

But it will do so to the extent that you specify. For example, you might like the kind of internal conflict that Joseph Conrad always deals with on his books, but you might find the pacing too slow and the books far too long. If that is the case, you can ask Book Lamp to find authors who are thematically related to the phenomenal English writer born in Poland, but which are shorter and have a different sense of dynamics. It’s as easy as that, and the results are always accurate.

I think that is because you are able to specify a lot of different aspects at once if you want. You can have Book Lamp take not only the pacing and the density into account, but also the level of action and description. It’s not that you will find the best book ever through such a service. But you are finding titles you are sure to love through it.

SimilarSiteSearch.com – Find Sites That Are Related

August 25, 2010

Similar Site Search is the one resource you have to keep in mind if you are always looking for new sites to try, owing either to your personal interests or your professional occupation.

If you do, you already know how difficult it can be to find relevant websites based solely on keyword searches.

Well, Similar Site Search takes a completely different approach. Here, users are asked to enter the name of these websites that they already know. Upon doing so, a search for related sites will be carried out and the results will be instantly provided for you to delve into them.

For example, if you want to find more sites that host videos a la YouTube all you have to do is input “youtube” on the provided search box to be presented with a list of quality websites that are similar to it.

In this way, Similar Site Search will provide you with fresh and significant results, while saving you a significant amount of time – just think how long this process takes by other means like keyword searches.

Cascaad.com – Another Way To Deal With Social Content

August 10, 2010

Cascaad offers people a new way to experience the Social Web. The objective of this site is to let you become involved in relevant conversations only, and do so without having to look them up manually.

In practice, this is achieved by filtering all your streams, and bringing up these items that the application knows you are keen on because you have specified it beforehand.

These highlighted conversations become part of what are called “Topic Pages”, and these pages make tracking each and every discussion a much suppler task.

Besides, Cascaad can recommend new content for you based on these things that you like, and help you broaden your circle of contacts considerably in a way that is not only automated but also fully relevant.

As a service, Cascaad is accessible both via the Web and through an iPhone app that you can procure through the site. In both cases, signing up is inexpensive. And note that an API is already available for developers that want to explore the intricacies of this system themselves, and see how they can use it to beef up any application that they are assembling.

TimeToTag.com – Finding Out Which Sites Are Related

February 28, 2010

Are you looking for related sites to the ones you visit the most owing to either personal or professional reasons? If that is the case, you are certain to find an online resource like this one worth a visit. Broadly speaking, it is an indexed database of sites that are related to each other.

Users and the staff of the site tag these websites that are similar to each other, and the result is a World Wide Web that is as interconnected as possible.

The database can be searched in two ways: by tag and by site. The latter is obviously preferable, as it produces more concise results. Moreover, whenever you come across a new site that fulfils your expectations you can proceed to share the link with your friends on the spot using the provided functionality.

On the other hand, if you are a webmaster yourself and your site is not part of the database you can get around that easily. Simply follow the link that reads “Add a Site” and fill in the short form that will be produced.

Glydo.com – Discovering New Content Smoothly

January 27, 2010

Glydo is an add on for Firefox that will let you find new content in a very smooth setting indeed. The way it works is really simple and unobtrusive, as (upon being installed) it will recommend new content to you as you are browsing the WWW as usual.

Technically speaking, Glydo is an “associative content discovery service”. The relevant content comes from a long string of associations that take into account Twitter, YouTube and Flickr along with RSS feeds and services such as Amazon. The recommendations that are put your way are born out of associations made with all those, and they are presented to you as headlines on the Firefox bar. Hence, they will not clutter your navigation – they are always there, and you can pay them the heed you want. You can ignore them if you wish to focus on any article you are reading, and if you become bored by what seemed promising you just jump to a new page using Glydo.

All in all, an easy, fast and free way to make connections on the Web. The potential for discovery something like this has is staked quite high, and I really like how little invading it is.

WordsLike.net – Looking Up Related Words

December 17, 2009

Do you need to come up with a word or two for that English class assignment and can’t be bothered to dust your old thesaurus and flick through it? In that case, this website is sure to assist you. Basically, it will let you find similar words right on the spot.

All you have to do is furnish the ones that interest you and be presented with a full list of related words. It is as easy as that. Personally, I would have liked it best if you were provided with some options like specifying the number of syllables and do on.

Although the example I used to introduce the review was that of English assignments, it is perfectly clear that a system like this will also appeal to business users willing to fully explore the SEO power of each and every keyword related with any specific venture. As such, this site has some potential for those with an entrepreneurial frame of mind. If that definition applies to you, keeping the site in mind for immediate or future reference could be a good thing to do.

Topikality.com – Read Only The Content That Matters

October 14, 2009

Having a clutter-free experience when surfing the web just lies beyond anybody’s grasp. No matter what steps you take on your own, you are bound to end up someplace that is of no relevance to you, and you will wind up perusing a blog post or similar that has no transcendence.

The only way of accomplishing seamless navigation and retrieval of information is through any of the tools that filter what is found online, of which topikality stands as a very good exponent.

In essence, it is a tool that learns what type of articles you enjoy reading so as to filter the content you come across from that point onwards. As they say on the site “topikality gives you the best of what you want, and none of what you don’t”. The best aspect of the whole system is that it has just the right amount of input from the user – he has to vote articles up and down, and once 50 votes have been put forth then everything starts shaping itself. Of course, the longer that he votes then the better results Topikality will yield, and the more elements for drawing comparisons it will have.

Right now, Topikality is still being fine-tuned. KillerStartup readers can get ready for the big launch right here.

eHerds.com – Meeting Up With Those Who Are Like You

September 16, 2009

eHerds is a new resource that feels too much like a step back in time to me. You see, it will let you join groups of people who share your same interests.

If you are keen on tattoos, there is a group for that. If you like anime, there is a group for that. If you are hooked on a certain movie, chances are there will also be a group for that right here.

It is all very nice, but the one and only question I have is what is the use of this in a Facebook-dominated age? The one and only explanation I can figure out is that the people who put it all together wanted to give users a direct experience, free from clutter of any kind. In that sense, it is successful. But people who are using Facebook are not liable to make a change under any circumstance – they will adhere to the groups that are part of in the ever-popular networking site.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t consider this a “bad” site. It is good for what it is, even if the role it aims to play out is already played out by an established, almost unbeatable giant. And in any case, a site that advertises an anime group by displaying a picture of Totoro has my eternal sympathy.

Linktive.com – Create A Link Building Network

August 24, 2009

Looking for ways in which you could grow your business? This service might just as well be what you need. Essentially, it will enable you to create something akin to an intelligent link building network.

The term “intelligent” refers to the fact that once you have created your own account the system will take care of searching businesses that could complement yours, and take care of recommendations both ways – you will be introduced to others in the same way that others will be introduced to you and what you do.

Creating an account is taken care of really quickly, and once that has been dealt with all you have to do is register your sites. Upon doing so you will also be asked which pages you want to employ for the displaying of links. You will also have to create a widget and insert it into your website for the system to be fully functional.

At the end of the day, it is not inaccurate to name this service a link building relationship manager. That is, it will let you worry about your site and its content while the linking up with related sites is dealt with automatically and accurately. And that prospect alone will be appealing to many without a shadow of a doubt.

LinkSensor.com – A New Semantic Tool For Your Blog

July 28, 2009

Are you looking into new ways of monetizing your blog? There is no shortage of services that cater for that purpose, and this one is part of that encompassing group. In principle, what it does is to carry out a semantic analysis when someone is reading any of your posts.

Upon doing so, key concepts within the text are highlighted and the user is presented with a balloon suggesting other articles from your blog that can be deemed as related.

In practice, this means that the user will be able to discover more posts within your blog that are certain to appeal to him, and that will make him spend more time on your weblog. More time spent equals higher ad revenue, and that you are getting nearer to your dream house down Sunset Boulevard. Well, maybe not, but you get the idea.

This service is provided at a cost that is described online, and you can always download a trial version and install it. Supported platforms include WordPress, Blogger, TypePad and MovableType among several other well-known names in the industry today. Chances are that your preferred platform will already be taken into account, so that if you want to see LinkSensor in action you will most likely be able to do it.

Yebol.com – Carry Out Semantic Searches

June 10, 2009

The past two months have done wonders for the field of search engines. Either the market is opening up and going above and beyond or some guy spread the word that it is a goose about to lay a golden egg of mythical proportions.

Any way or the other, we can not complain about the many services that have materialized – heavy-hitters like Wolfram Alpha and Bing spring instantly to mind.

If you have given these two a spin and failed to be satisfied, you might as well try this one out. Essentially, it aims to reproduce a human-like knowledge base that could lead to semantic results, and not a mere concatenation of pages or links that might not be that relevant at all.

This is accomplished through a combination of algorithms and human knowledge in order to create a specific directory not only for every query but also for each and every user. Search terms are categorized and clustered, and the same happens to sites and pages as a whole.

Ultimately, Yebol claims to let the user perform multi-dimensional searches instead of the one-dimensional processes that have traditionally characterized search engines. The way in which related results are displayed signals good things to come. Reviewing a search engine and giving examples is a bit tough since different people will look up things which are completely dissimilar. I suggest you pay it a visit and give it a baptism of fire with your own queries.

Enter this site. Broadly speaking, it will let you look up people who are looking for anything in particular, or people who have found something which is hard to come across, and wish to share their finds with the rest.

The site itself is pretty straightforward, and the main page highlights the most wanted items as of late. This means that you can click straight on any tag and see the results on the spot, without having to type anything.
