Megite Blog Tracker: the first algorithmic news tracking service created for a single blog. Megite realized that there had to be a better way to explore the conversations around blog posts - particularly for large blogs - than the typical tools such as trackbacks and pingbacks. What's more, blog readers may be short of time and unwilling to scroll through many pages of posts to discover the top story of the day. See the demo created for mashable.com:
