Just when I say I’m down on Technorati, they set up an interesting deal with Newsweek to integrate blog coverage into their web site. Technorati CEO David Sifry gives a good rundown of the features on his blog. It’s essentially the sports buzz features I’ve been running here but they’re integrating it into stories and giving it a section on the web site.

You can see the Newsweek Blog Roundup today.

Update: It’s “gratifying” to see they only have around a hundred link in when you get to stories further down the list. Blogging about politics is HUGE compared to blogging about sports. It’s amazing to me that this is the case, but it’s most definitely true. I’ve always been surprised at the small number of good sports bloggers out there, which makes it tougher to sell blogs to folks at work. Politics has the right intersection of writers and passionate fans, I guess.
