Waypath,the Blog Discovery Engine watches over 4 million blogs.Waypath breaks blogs into individual posts and analyzes each for subject matter.Along with a new front page (the vanguard of an entire site redesign), Waypath launched a new service recently, Blogs On News. As the name suggests, Blogs On News lets you follow discussion of the latest news, as it takes place in weblogs.Using semantic matching technology, we're able to find relevant blog posts for news articles, even if those posts don't link back to the news. The technology doesn't rely on keyword matching, so you won't get a bunch of garbage, either.This first release of Blogs On News uses the latest news articles from Yahoo! News. You can track blog posts for a specific article, or use Blogs On News to follow an entire news category. My early one or two trials were not too encouraging though - for one thing the interface was not appealing and looked bewildering to me to understand the features. Watch this space for more updates.
