Another Mashup I heard of from ResearchBuzz called Delexa; my blog ranks 14444 of the top 50,000 blogs in the US, according to Delexa.

Let me get this straight …. Delexa is saying my blog, Webmetricsguru.com, is the 14444th most important blog in the United States?   Well tickle my fancy…I'd never have thought that (and probably don't believe the numbers - but hell…why argue with Delexa?).

This is what you get from Delexa.org :

Website:  webmetricsguru.com

U.S. Rank: 14444 (go to site)

Del.icio.us Alexa: 3m 6m 1y 5y max About URL wiki Domain Strength Whois Pagerank | Future PR Link Popularity Site Age

Topic tags

Not a bad mashup, as far as it goes.

Here's part of what was published in ResearchBuzz:

"…I don't think this is being done intentionally, but more and more I'm coming across tools — mashups, tag sites, or uses of Wikipedia data — that are increasingly making searchable subject indexes irrelevant. Makes you wonder what's going to happen to Yahoo's Directory, the Open Directory Project, etc etc. The latest example of this kind of site is Delexa, a site that mixes del.icio.us tags with Alexa data to provide information on the top 50,000 US Web sites (as ranked by Alexa.) Check it out at http://www.delexa.org/ . It's in beta."

I can see getting a lot of useful info on a site this way, in particular the Domain Strength and About URL /Wiki tool.
