There is no way I can customize that site so that I can filter some teams (NY, BOS, SF) / players (Bonds, Jeter, Giambi, etc.) out as I just don't care about them. Some one recommended StrikeTwo.net in an earlier comment and I agree. That is a much better site. Tech Crunch, you should have done a write up on them instead. RSS Feeds by team, by player, and overall, a great site. #19, agreed.

It’s a site based on using an algorithm to determine what stories and blog posts are the hottest and they float to the top. It also groups together the other blogs that are talking about it for an easy to track a discussion. It quickly became a favorite news destination of the politics and technology blogging worlds. What makes it so smart is that because Gabe is just using a formula he developed, the site doesn’t require a ton of employees and revenue to run.

I'm not sure how interesting the source list is to the typical non-blogging reader, but I think it has some other neat features (like logo tagging based on name extraction). Still, what I'm aiming for here is a site that as comprehensively as possible surfaces what baseball bloggers are talking about, whether it's written in the established media, or at MLB.com, or on blogs. I think Ballbug is unique in that capacity. Hi Matt: yep, I’ve seen striketwo.
