Microblogging Conference 09

Twingly, a global blog search engine from Sweden, who made recently furore with their national BlogRank and Top 100 lists for several languages like German, English, French, Dutch and many more, is enhancing its services now for the global microblogging market. Twingly wants to be the global search engine for microblogging(!) and has a solution which is yet under development. They are planning to present it to the MBC09 audience in Hamburg. By chance as a sneak preview.

Anja Rauch, Business Development Manager for Twingly, wrote me a while ago:

Our aim with this project is to incorporate as many entries from as many microblog services as possible within one index. Together with various search and monitoring functions this microblog search shall pose a real alternative to single services like i.e. Twitter Search. “Everything in one place” is the mantra and thus creating additional value for users. If you have a microblog-service and want to make the content searchable, we will demonstrate to you how that works.

The session will be a combination of introducing the project as well as our aims followed by a discussion regarding the microblog search as a concept.

Anja will join the MBC09 and holding the session about Twingly’s global microblog-search. I’m quite excited about it.

Twingly has been very successful in driving change in European media, connecting mainstream media with blogs. Their main offering is Twingly Blogstream, a moderated trackback function for large websites, providing measurably higher visitor engagement and greater attention in the blogosphere. Twingly Blogstream is used by 50 newspapers, magazines and television channels in 8 countries to get more attention from bloggers, generating 200M+ monthly widget views.

Btw, I don’t believe so much in blogranks and top lists, but in search engines… either blogs or microblogs.

Thank you for sponsoring and support of the MBC09!
