BlogPulse: Politics Took a Back Seat on Blogs in 2005
Intelliseek's BlogPulse Newswire reported December 23, 2005 that, "Without a presidential campaign to fuel blog discussion in 2004, the blogosphere in 2005 took on a decidedly different feel and tone. The political wrangling didn't abate, but it was forced to share the stage with entertainment news, hurricane fallout and other natural disasters, technology discussion and blogs' own evolution as emerging media sources." See "2005: The Year That Blogging Evolved."
United Press International (UPI) business editor T.K. Maloy, in a December 27, 2005, report on BlogPulse.com's finding, quotes Sundar Kadayam, chief technology officer for Intelliseek, "which hosts the BlogPulse.com search engine and analysis tool, as saying:
Blogs have emerged as a worldwide phenomenon that touches nearly every aspect of everyday life, commerce, technology, media, entertainment, politics -- even the coverage of natural disasters and news events, such as Hurricane Katrina and the London bombings.Expect even more impact from bloggers in 2006, especially during the 2006 midterm elections in the United States.
