"@Pål Joakim Olsen: really nice to hear that!" - Martin Källström

"My favourite is the Swedish podcast What’s Next: whatsnext.se. It’s mostly in Swedish but not always, they do it both in Swedish and English. Here’s an example in English: But thanks for this post, it goes straight to delicious!" - Martin Källström

"Great news Michael and the rest of the team. Something have to be done and I think this is one of the best things you can do. In Sweden we have learned a lot of companies how they should do PR and communication with blogs. We’ve get that position to be “THE social media-company in Sweden” and we’re quite alone understanding these things. But there’s still a lot to do here. The first lesson is usually to not send out long PDF-pressreleases. Which show how low level it is here too." - Martin Källström

"I just realized my answer wasn’t so clear either. But the true value of BlogRank, the PageRank for blogs, is a more valuable metric than for example Technorati Authority (which is a number that nobody understand, this blog has Technorati Authority 65 for example, which not says to much…) and other authority systems. First of all, a number between 1-10 is easier to understand which makes Googles PageRank more valuable too. Another difference is that BlogRank is based on language so the largest blog in Swedish get BlogRank 10, the largest in Finnish get BlogRank 10 etc. We believe it’s more fun to be the counted as the largest blog in a language than to be counted as no 2351 international." - Martin Källström

"Hi and thanks for a great article! To be honest, it could be much easier to understand what we’re doing. We’re working on it. But the last quote is just saying “we can’t promise that all your blog posts being indexed by us if you not ping us” which is necessary for someone to be on top 100. Not necessary maybe, but the chances to get there is much higher if we could count every link and post, not only the ones we get. The ranking system is mostly based on inlinks, so it’s like Technorati Top 100 in many ways but with our own touch. Please let me know if there’s questions. We love feedback and people who ask :) /Anton, Twingly.com anton@twingly.com +46 768 99 88 73" - Martin Källström

"Nice article, thanks! I know the fact that you’ve changed your domain (because this is one of my favorite blogs!) and that your profile is quite different than it should be. Kristoffer, one of our developers said “It would be nice to have a tool to change blog url or at least some mechanism for it” when he read this blog post. I say: do it! So hopefully it’ll be something we can do in the future. Thanks again and keep up the good work you do with this blog! /Anton, Twingly.com" - Martin Källström

"Hi Joshua, If a blog don’t ping us frequently we can’t be sure of indexing everything. It’s actually not possible. Do you want your blog profile and your blog to be indexed correct you have to ping us, otherwise we might index your posts sometimes but probably not always. Best regards, Anton Johansson, Twingly.com" - Martin Källström

"Thanks Erick! Not all of them are tech blogs, even they’re quite many on our list… We’re trying some new ways to get a better index in the US right now. Hopefully it’ll make the list better. But the really cool thing with this is that it’s on 12 languages. BlogRank is actually based on language, not overall, which mean that the largest Swedish blog also has BlogRank 10. It’s more fun to be big in Sweden than be no 5123 international for a Swedish blog." - Martin Källström

"@Mingus Rude: no problem, we love feedback! I don’t think it’s pointless. Technorati and Google is focused on US and therefore their search and toplists is not fair against the rest of the world. The same with us, we’re from Europe and therefore we have better data from this part of the world. Our hope is to be much, much better in the rest of the world too but we think it’s better to be clear with that everything is done by our point of view right now than hiding it. The biggest issue in the long run is probably Asia, Australia and Africa. If a blog pinging us frequently it’s much easier for us to index every blog post from that blog. If another blog don’t ping us at all, it’s possible that we index it anyway but in that case we have some problem to index it frequently because we don’t get a notification (which a ping actually is) every time it’s updated. The bloggers who ping us frequently is therefore better indexed by us. Again, thanks. We think it’s great with feedback and..." - Martin Källström

"Tack Joakim! De här orden värmer! Att vi skulle lansera Top 100 var något av en självklarhet för oss men när vi också bestämde oss för att lansera BlogRank i samma veva; det var då man ryste av känslan till att det här är något riktigt grymt. Kul att du gillar det! Vi gillar er också" - Martin Källström

"Nice article! Interesting charts! I wrote a blog post about this phenomenon for a couple of weeks ago, with quite interesting discussion. Interested? Check it out: http://blog.twingly.com/2008... … which also give us a good idea: could we use retweets as a parameter of influence or ranking critera to our blog search engine? Probably! Now it’s a suggestion in our open tech plan (need to log in to see it, I think): http://techplan.twingly.com/feature... ." - Martin Källström

"I like our own: http://www.twingly.com/errors..." - Martin Källström

"Btw, this is something we see all the time at our tech plan, which is found here: techplan.twingly.com. I would love to see you suggest this feature Here’s a good list (in Swedish) on other companies doing the same: http://bjornalberts.com/2008..." - Martin Källström

"@colonos: We talked with them earlier today and they having some technical issues right now because of their redesign. They working on solving the problem, so it’ll probably working again anytime soon!" - Martin Källström

"Hi from Sweden :)" - Martin Källström

"@Kristofer Mencák: You inspired me a lot with your well-written blog post! @Hanta: well, nice ideas! Haven’t thinking of it before but using retweets as a parameter of search rankings could of course be possible! Thanks!" - Martin Källström

"Interesting post! From my point of view the phenomenas “bump”and “+1″ at Jaiku is similar but in another service? With some difference, of course." - Martin Källström

"Will you attend SIME? (sime.nu) Otherwise, we’ll see if I can make it! I hope so!" - Martin Källström

"Kan förövrigt tillägga att Makthavare.se länkar tillbaka utan nofollow och med länkar som Google ser. De använder nämligen en egen lösning precis som DN gjorde från början, byggd av Good Old. =) /Anton" - Martin Källström

"For sure! Have you seen the widget that the Twingly Partners use? Over 45 media partners use our widget that connect their news site (or web shop, since a month ago) to the blogosphere. It actually really cool and work fine! Read more about, and check out our partners sites to see how it works here: http://www.twingly.com/partner... Please let me now if you wondering something, or have ideas of how we can improve our widgets more. Regards, Anton, Twingly.com" - Martin Källström

"Hi, thanks for a great article about us! We’re happy to hear that you like Twingly. Just some notes: - We’re working on api, customizing and so on. This is just the first step for our widgets, we truly believe they’re important for us and we’re going to make them much better in the future. - It actually possible to make widgets with other options than the three you mentioned. Every search can be a widget, which mean you can have a lot of cool widgets. This search, for example, can be a widget: http://www.twingly.com/search...

"Fuck yea Loic and Michael!" - Martin Källström

"Hello Peter. I hope this was resolved after our e-mail conversatsion. As I mentioned there, links in the blog post title are not supported by us. A link must be present in the summary (or post body) in order for us to be able to pick it up. Best regards, Jörgen Andersson" - Martin Källström
