What is grabbing reader's attention this very minute ?

I'll get down to answering that question, by let me provide some background information first.

Wowzio widgets & badges are being increasingly deployed by blogs. This is happening globally, our audience breakdown is as follows :
1. United States (20%)
2. Brazil (16%)
3. Japan (8%)
4. France (5%)
5. Germany (5%)
6. India (5%)
7. Italy (3%)
8. United Kingdom (3%)
9. Canada (3%)
10. Malaysia (2%)
In all, we get visitors from 230 countries around the world.

We discovered that we are able to compute a pretty good pulse of the blogosphere. What I mean by this is, we can for a given topic, determine which blog posts readers around the world are finding most interesting, and are engaging with (or reading) the most.

This is what we are rolling out as a new feature called 'Pulse'. Here are some sample pulse pages for the corresponding topics :
Apple
Barack Obama

You can get some more information about 'Pulse' and how exactly we determine reader's engagement with a blog post at http://www.wowzio.com/docs/pulse

This is a new feature, and we are working on improving it. At the same time, we welcome your feedback, what you like, what you don't, whats missing, etc.

Thx,
The Wowzio Team
