was “W” a Abercrombie & Fitch model? … parodying the ongoing flap over Dan Rather and alleged ‘doctored documents’, Rex Hammock pokes great fun at the whole mess – and, he does it from a magazine point of view using “A+F” ads

so, using the blogpulse trend tool from Intelliseek’s Blogpulse … what level of blog traffic feature “Dan Rather” and “National Guard” these days. (please suggest some better term / phrase choices to search for at Blogpulse)

you can see when the story broke and the spike in blog discussions using this tool. obviously, ‘national guard” was already being mentioned for a variety of reasons (Iraq, Bush, hurricane relief, etc.) …

as i’ve mentioned, we can’t tell in what context these comments are being made (you’ll have to sign up and pay fees for that kind of analysis) … but this tool is good for tracking a particular term (say, a product name? and follow it during the launch of an ad campaign?) and could be useful tool in your professional life when serving a client … it will depend upon what you need to track and why.

hey, and we also learn how ‘you too can make a million dollars‘ … uh, ok let’s see, 5 cents per download and 1 cent for a ‘google ad’ clickthrough … hey, at this rate my blog could rake in $1 M in, oh – say 1,000,000 years
