Shouldn’t alexa provide this tool of blog search right next to their traffic data in order to set us with more accurate data concerning sites magnitude?

It is attracting over 1,000 new developers per day and has resulted in 1,500 applications, according to Facebook , and the top 5 applications have almost 20 million users”. Using blogpulse search engine I compared between the volumes those two social networks generate on blog talk (see graph). Assuming that the blogsphere is a valid estimation tool for social networks success – facebook has still a long way to go. […]
