Well after too much time spent huddled over our computers we are thrilled to announce that bscopes.com has now gone live.

Our initial release is available for blog readers everywhere.  The first set of Bscopes is a set of 100 popular blogs. We provide a Bscope of each blog and update it daily as the blogosphere changes. In addition you can also see a sample composite Bscope of the entire set of 100 blogs.

And, if one particular site is of interest to you… or if you happen to own one of these 100 popular blogs (hint, hint) the you might find the Bscope Widget of interest.

We are glad to be out and available. Please let us know what you think of the new Bscopes site either by posting a comment here on the blog or by dropping us a line.

Lots of GraphsWe stumbled across an interesting post from Jesse on the O’Reilly Radar Blog that uses an interesting visualization technique to graph words used by presidential candidates(New York Times article)

Again, it’s the birds-eye view makes things visible that were hindered by the mass of the content. In this case the words of dozens of candidates during many hours of speeches get compiled into a single graph. Applause to NYT (and thanks to Jesse for pointing it out) for employing a similar approach to cutting through the clutter !
