LunchMeet: Tracking Memes with Tailrank

16:30 | Eddie Codel | Jul 6th, 2007 7:26pm |

The blogosphere is a noisy place filled with many interconnected conversations on all sorts of disperate topics. Tailrank, which calls itself a memetracker, is a service that tracks the zeitgeist of conversations in the blogosphere. I sat down with Kevin Burton, Tailrank’s CEO and founder, and Jonathan Moore, brilliant engineer and hacker, at their home office to learn a bit about their services. Tailrank is built upon Spinn3r, another service that Burton and Moore built, that spiders and indexes the blogosphere.
