Pleegs, an online news multisearch and buzz tracking service “Made in Switzerland!”
We already wrote about Blogdimension recent collaborations with some emerging metasearch systems like Zuula.com (USA) or the Blogbar (Fance)… but also Alianzo, the well known Spanish blog directory and network not to mention AltSearchEngines a ReadWriteWeb weblog dedicated to the promotion of all kind of alternative search engines. Well, the alliances and exchanges of Internet visibility with innovative Web 2.0 initiatives go on at BD.
So, Blogdimension provides now its quality Web 2.0 search results also to Pleegs.
Pleegs ?
Pleegs (there is no rational explanation to this weird brandname… if you are interested to know more about it, please leave us a comments!) is a hybrid product between an online news metasearch providing results from over 17 leading sources (general or specialized search engines) AND a powerful Internet buzz tracking set of tools. Pleegs is particularly efficient and usable to allways be aware onf what goes on on Internet.
Like all metasearch websites, Pleegs allows to concentrate and aggregate your Internet searches within a unique interface instead of carrying multiple search operations on every search engine which is time consuming. So, what? In the same spirit as Blogdimension, Pleegs’ metasearch part concentrates only on results provided by search engines specialized in the live web (blogs, RSS-based content, news feeds, etc.). The users are therefore assured to find only pure up-to-date and actual information and not the antique archives dating back from the 90’s!
This approach of the Internet is similar to the one adopted by Blogdimension which consists in proposing only the dynamical part of the Web to the users. Leaving aside thus all expired sources. If you still like to browse into the prehistoric Web and you are an addict of commercial results there are very good search engines, whixh are - into the bargain - also very famous! Definitely, the new generation tools (alternative) tend to focus exclusively on content moving very fast, in real-time.
But the genuine “gem” in Pleegs resides in its buzz tracking system. It is a complete set of functions allowing to track information on one or several keywords. Are you interested in following up a brandname, a product, an information or even a person? You’ve got just to configure some warning/watch/alert messages in order to be notified of new events happening on the Web. You can choose to be notified either by email or RSS. Pleegs proposes a list of incredible filters which make it possible to define extremely precise alerts through a complete choice of time frequency options. Interesting sorting option and charts are also available if you sign up.
We could unveil and review all the functions of the buzz tracking system right here. But we prefer to invite you to test Pleegs by yourself. You’ll be surprised by the sophistication of the functions imagined by its creator!
Behind a simple GUI (Graphic User Interface) and an uncluttered design (in the vein of all Web 2.0 services) hides a complete and very well-thought-out buzz tracking service. It’s a website you will not be able to do without if you are in the economic or strategic watch business or simply a buzz hunter.
The wildest rumors are going around a new version specially adapted to the professionals and experts. Stay tuned.
It is interesting also to notice that Pleegs was created alone by a only 23 years talented young man working from his homeoffice there in Switzerland! Hat in hand Mister Pleegs! No doubt some sponsors will be attracted soon by your creation.
Pleegs is a “Swiss Made” product.
Blogdimension.com is happy to provide its search results to Pleegs.
