If you want a quick overview of what's going on in the Indiana blogosphere, this new site looks pretty thorough. Here's the announcement of the site's debut:
BlogNetNews doesn't have a political ax to grind and jumps a generation ahead of other aggregators out there that just reprint posts and tell you which ones get clicked on the most.
We are going to use your feeds - and the feeds of top Indiana-centric news and political bloggers - to create new content and information that will organize your slice of the Internet to make it work better for your readers.
Our current version offers these features:
*The day's top news - based solely on what news stories Indiana bloggers are linking to - no matter what mainstream news source they're in.
*An Indiana blogs search engine.
*A quick guide to the hottest blog comment sections in the Indiana-centric blogosphere.
*A quick index of the day's most active Indiana news and politics blogs.
*A guide to the Indiana blog posts most linked to by other Indiana bloggers.
In one place, in one minute, you'll get an update on what's going on across the blogosphere. And your readers will be able to find the best Indiana-related content - not based on random voters or some editor's choices - but based on the real actions of your fellow bloggers and their readers.
Our theory is simple: We think our tools will help new blog readers find the best content fast. A good experience means they'll come back - to you and to us. We also think a quick grasp of what's going on in the blogosphere will help you get more out of the time you spend blogging.
I hope you're interested in what we're doing. Please understand though, the site is new and the programming is still being tweaked and tested - in short all the parts are in motion. In order to quickly improve the site, we want your feedback. Write directly to me at editor@blognetnews.com.
