BlogPulse, a service from Intelliseek, is a blog search engine that provides reports on daily activity in the blogosphere.

For bloggers, there’s a few tools that may be of interest:

- A search engine that allows you to track topics of interest, who is linking to you and in what context.

- A Buzz-Tracking and Featured Trends tools that provide data on hot topics in the blogosphere on any day.

- A Trend Search tool for mapping buzz on topics, links to posts, blogs or site over a a given period
