From CyberJournalist.net:
"LexisNexis is starting to integrate blog content into its databases. Blogs will be selected for inclusion based on editorial quality, the company says."
Fascinating. Implications include:
a) Content analysis of blogs just got a whole lot easier
b) there will be a whole new process of "structuring" and "ranking" of "important" blogs based on whether or not they make the list. New "boundary work" will be done ... will academic analysis of blogs start missing a whole lot of the blogosophere?? Wither technorati and truth laid bare? etc etc.
Update: Looks like cj.net got its story from the Lexis-Nexis website. Wish they'd linked to it. But that aside, there's some additional information there. Apparently, the service is in partnership with something called newstex:
"Unlike existing Web-based blog aggregation services, Newstex actually licenses influential blog content directly from independent bloggers and then takes in each carefully selected blog feed in text format and uses its proprietary NewsRouter technology to scan it in real-time."
Also, it seems that at least a few blogs are showing up as having been contacted by newstex, and that the aggregation includes "possible monetary pay out." Looks like they also were working with Pajamas Media back when it was called Finally, John Quiggin raises a question as to what this means in terms of "creative commons licensing."
Read it all: the plot thickens.
