NewsWordy: Keyword Heavy CSS Driven Site

November 28, 2008 @ 10:31 am

I’m working on creating a keyword heavy site  in order to generate traffic which right now I just call NewsWordy.  My roots are in political blogging so even though I quit that on my own sites I still read and comment on a lot of other people’s political blogs.  The site I want to create is simply to show the very latest conversations on the most popular political blogs and combine it with keywords from news feeds.  What should come out is a tag cloud with the keywords from the conversions on a certain day or other time period.

If you go to the site at the time of writing this entry you’ll see the most popular keywords are a mixture of thanksgiving related terms and terms from the tragedy in India with the terrorist attacks.  It’s safe to say those two things ruled the conversation yesterday and I’m pretty sure the terrorism will rule today as well as those things continue to develop.

Other sites do things similar to this I’m sure but my goal is to create an uptodate conversation cloud where readers can find current and relevant content related to a popular conversation of the day.

It’s not much to look at right now CSS wise.  I just wanted to roll out the structure of the site, start pulling in feed data from blogs and news, and hopefully start get picked up by google and other sites.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be experimenting with the CSS and the visuals of the site if things go as planned.
