Mining Blogs for Content

Bacon’s Information, a media research company for public relations and corporate communications professionals, has assigned three editors to monitor the blogosphere. In January, subscribers of Bacon’s MediaSource service will receive background information and updates on the 250 “most reputable” Weblogs covering technology, politics, business, travel, and religion. Although Bacon’s hasn’t released its list of preferred blogs, publisher Ruth McFarland told MediaPost.com that the Silicon Valley Watcher, Wonkette, and humor columnist Dave Barry’s blog will be spot-checked by her editorial team.
