New FEEDJIT Version Launched

FEEDJIT launched a new version of their service yesterday (17/11/2008). Up until now, FEEDJIT allowed you to view a live traffic feed of visitors to your blog, providing the visitor’s location, operating system, browser and landing page, plus some interesting statistics such as popular pages per for each area. FEEDJIT’s new feature now allows you to view what are the most popular and relevant blogs in your area (or any area in the world, for that matter). You can do it by browsing to http://www.feedjit.com  . FEEDJIT calls this service “Geoblogosphere”. If your blog is popular in your town/area/country,  it will appear in the Geoblogosphere for your
area. You can access your local Geoblogosphere by going to the FEEDJIT homepage.

Blogs appearing in the Geoblogosphere can be sorted by two categories : Blog popularity and Blog Relevance (Check out this screenshot). Blog popularity, simply put, is measured by the number of visitors to your blog. The Blog Relevance measurement is a bit more tricky: Blog relevance measures how relevant is your blog to your area. If you come from the San Francisco area, and you write an article in your
blog about tourist attractions in San Francisco, there’s a good chance that your blog will be with a high relevance rating, even if it’s not a popular blog that receives many visitors.

You can read more about the new features in the Geoblogsphere FAQ page and also in the FEEDJIT about page.
