megite : related links discovery engine
Megite is getting into the related/recommendation game with their new discover engine.
As we all know megite is a memetracker, it tracks the hottest news and surrounds it with discussions and related links.
This is different to Technorati link search, which will only list sites that link to the site in question, plus it is up to the user to type in a URL, whereas megite will feed you the hottest URL’s of the day.
Then there is Sphere which allows you to enter a URL and it will display related items, but this again is up to the user to type in the URL.
This is why a memetracker is so great as it will tell you the hottest URL’s and you can even limit the news sources to your OPML subscription list, or even to one feed.
Now megite is offering the best of both worlds as it now allows a user to enter a URL or even a keyword and discover related links.
Here is the popular topic “community“.
Here are related links to my blog, the great thing is that I can limit this list of links to a topic.
So it not only discovers related links, but also topics.
When I entered a blog post URL, it didn’t discover topics (like an auto tag type of thing), only related links…a natural idea is to compare a hot URL on megite and compare it to the same URL in their Discover engine.
eg. Microsoft makes its biggest acquisition ever
