Introducing freshblogs.com!
Freshblogs enables web users to track new content on their favorite weblogs. Your published watchlist displays the most recently updated sites at the top. As time passes, weblogs that are updated less frequently will drop in “freshness” and disappear from the list.
We’re still working out all the kinks and there isn’t much in the way of instructions there, but please go set up an account and play. And, by all means, let us know what you think.

Very nice guys! Me likey better than blogtracker and blo.gs already (with much respect of course – couldn’t program that myself).
When I first started messing around with scanning web sites and keeping track of them. I didn’t know of anything else to do it.
Since then I’ve found all kinds of cool sites like blog toast, bloglet, blo.gs, blogtracker, weblogs.com, etc. I can’t think of any other niche (that niche being tools for personal web sites) that is thriving like this.
I think all the innovation by motivated individuals is a true vindication of what the Internet is all about, in the post dot com exploitation era.
How does it track? Can it keep track of sites that don’t ping anything?
Little monkeys are chained to network bootable work stations, and they are constantly being shown a rotating set of blogs. When they see a difference in the page from the last rotation they hit a large red button. This up dates the list.
Leia is good with monkeys.
Morgan, it watches the weblogs.com feed of sites that ping it. If a site isn’t on that list, it monitors it itself using some amazing top-secret algorithms.
Monkeys created the algorithms.
heh. “the head” and centrs are tied for 4th place on the most watched list. i’m sure i am going to disappear completely once more people start using it.
