[lowpost.net] [striketwo.net] Introducing striketwo.net for Baseball

Tonight I'm pleased to announce the launch of a new sports-related blog-tracking application: striketwo.net.

Like lowpost.net, it tracks many more blogs than I can read, summarizing common discussions and ranking the players and teams that appear--but for baseball-themed blogs. As it turns out, there are a lot more baseball blogs than basketball blogs out there, and striketwo.net is now monitoring 600 of them.

One recent addition to lowpost.net that also appears is the new Blog Rankings page. It ranks all tracked blogs by influence, which is a measure of incoming links from individual posts (similar to Technorati's authority metric).

Special thanks to Matt Watson of Detroit Bad Boys and Fake Teams, for planting the idea and providing a lot of good feedback during the development process.

striketwo.net is still in beta testing, so if you have any feedback or suggestions, please pass them along.

And a new bookmark to add to my toolbar. Awesome work. I love that Batgirl is the sixth most "influential" baseball blogger. I'm guessing we'll be seeing this at lowpost soon?

I have a pointless, aesthetically pleasing suggestion for the Blog Rankings page: For ball blogs that cover the entire NBA, perhaps you could include a little "NBA logo" in place for their "team" picture? Did that make sense? Anyway, just an idea...
