Inlink management
We need a service for inlinks like what CoComments does for comments, Profilactic is a start as it has this as a feature (they call it “clippings”), but a dedicated service would be better.
Maybe it can be called “Who’s talkin’ about you”, or “ego tracker”, each user can click a bookmarklet to bookmark and tag their inlinks…doesn’t really have to be a social service. But I like the idea of the latest stream of inlinks as my blog doesn’t have this feature, and search engines like Technorati are only so stable or reliable.
I guess when you bookmark an inlink you would have to let the system know which blog post of yours it is refering to, this way the system could rank your most popular blog posts, and you could also see this by tag.
Another feature of this service would be an RSS Reader for ego tracking.
Suggested features
- track your ego feeds (de-dupe posts that appear in various ego feeds)…some people track their ego feeds at 4 or 5 engines then splice them into a feed at Feed Digest and take out the duplicates, another option is to use TalkDigger.
- perhaps you can do the step above within the system, that is the RSS Reader will ask you to input your blog feed and it will generate a spliced feed from various engines, which you can then read in the inbuilt RSS Reader and clip to your collection.
- avoid showing self inflicted inlinks (this is when you point to your own blog posts)…TalkDigger mentions that you can set it to ignore inlinks from your own domain.
- while you are there it might as well have a BlogPulse Conversation Tracker for each of your blog posts
- if you choose not to use the inbuilt RSS Reader, use a bookmarklet to bookmark and tag a post that is talking about one of your posts (perhaps use the same tag you used for your blog post).
Now that you will have bookmarked a post how will the system know which blog post of your it is talking about?…perhaps at the time of bookmarking the bookmarklet would auto-discover your blog post URL as well, by looking for your domain name in the links within this post you are bookmarking.
- view the latest stream of inlinks
- view a stream of inlinks limited to one blog post
- view a stream of inlinks limited to one tag
- view your most popular blog posts according to the number of inlinks, also have this view by tag
The new TalkDigger has some interesting features, in that it lets you bookmark link searches, and others who haven’t linked to a post can alternately talk about it by leaving a comment within TalkDigger.
