Popdex: the little popularity indexer that could.
Let's conduct a little poll. How many of you use Google as your primary search engine? Probably the vast majority of us. I'll check results against another engine from time to time, but like most of you, view Google as a good starting point for information search.
Today we're highlighting Popdex as the Feed of the Day. Remember the children's classic, "The Little Engine that Could?" Popdex is a bit like that plucky little engine, climbing the mountain - yep, I'm reaching here - of websites to find the most popular stuff online. Except rather than climb the huge mountain with "all" the websites out there, Popdex keeps to the foothills and "crawls over 14,000" sites daily to determine the most popular links on the Internet."
A few from today's list:
No. 2 - The Alien - a photoset on Flickr
No. 5 - Wired 13.08: 10 Years That Changed the World
No. 7 - NASA - Return to Flight
Enjoy the weekend!
