Nu het aantal weblogs zo toeneemt, wordt het voor journalisten steeds
belangrijker om er ook bovenop te zitten. Er zijn verschillende Blog
& RSS tools die hierin kunnen helpen (zie de rechterkolom op deze
pagina). PubSub is een van die
tools en scant meer dan 9 miljoen weblogs en meer dan 50.000 internet
nieuwsgroepen. Hier tien tips voor journalisten oftewel hoe gebruik je PubSub.
- Know the moment a topic of interest is mentioned anywhere across more than 9 million blogs.
- Determine quickly whether a story you are working on is
being talked about in the blogosphere -– a sign that it may be about to
break into the broader mainstream media. - Connect with potential story sources by monitoring which bloggers are posting on a particular hot topic.
- Track how an article you’ve written is being discussed in the blogosphere, to better understand its impact.
- Pick up emerging trends by using broad keyword subscriptions to
“listen in” on conversations happening across the blogosphere (e.g.,
“teens and wireless” or “Homeland security and ports”). - Use PubSub’s SEC/Edgar filing alert to monitor companies poised to
file an S1 or to go public -– and be instantly notified when the
paperwork is submitted. - Receive instant notification on press releases issued by companies falling within your beat.
- Better track how a particular story moves from the blogosphere to mainstream media, or vice versa.
- Track any mentions of your name or your news outlet’s in blogs, newsgroups, etc.
- Pull updated stats on the size of the searchable blogosphere (for
example, 9,083,318 blogs as of 3/23/05) to cite within an article
involving bloggers.
