Just found a new resource for bloggers looking for content inspiration and who want to stay on top of the trends in their niche...Trendpedia.
This looks like a great site for finding out what's hot, what bloggers are writing about. You enter the keyword or search time you want to track and click the Search button.
The system works on your query and then pops up a graph showing you how many posts with your search term and provides a list of links to the blog posts. Very cool. Here's a sample search I did using the term running AND marathon:
This is a great way to find new bloggers who may be influencers in your niche; a great way to stay on top of what's going on, as well as to keep your content pipeline full of new ideas and other posts you can link to and share.
I'm always fascinated at how I find useful resources like this by following the rabbit trails. In this case, Michael Stelzner tweeted a link to an article called 13 Pragmatic Social Media Marketing Approaches. Trendpedia was not mentioned in the article...it was mentioned in a comment on the post. Another good reason to read and comment on other blogs in your niche!
