Introducing SocialRank and Sudan’s DailyVoices!

Disclosure: My friend Khailee is on the team behind SocialRank. I’m not doing this to be nice or as a favor to him but simply because their super cool idea really excites me. Furthermore I have no financial interests involved.

I get so damn happy every time a new blog on Sudan pops up (especially when it’s authored by a Sudanese). Lately they’ve been appearing at the rate of two or a three a month. Those are just the ones I discover on my own, not even those many possibly existing ones I’ve never heard of.

My happiness is however juxtaposed by an increasingly bad headache. With more blogs on Sudan to read, I am having a harder time finding the hot posts of the day. It’s annoying going through each blog trying to find an interesting story or discussion.

Not anymore. We now have Sudan’s DailyVoices, a site powered by SocialRank (and which I requested the SocialRank team to make). Everyday it displays the top 15 popular posts and blogs on Sudan. How does it do that?

Well, SocialRank is a super cool mathematical algorithm which monitors the activity and social interactions occurring in the “Sudan blog community” real-time and determines what’s popular! More on how it works here.

Sudan’s DailyVoices is only one tiny part of DailyVoices (which was very recently launched). DailyVoices is planned to become the biggest global blog-powered website with sections dedicated for each country and every major city on the planet! By aiding in the discovery of new cool blogs and showing what’s hot, it will definitely solve a problem many of us bloggers and blog readers (especially busy ones) are increasingly facing.

Yaaay to SocialRank and Sudan’s DailyVoices! The Sudanese blogosphere just got its first aggregator and best of all - a filtered one.

I hear one of the countries next on the list is Iraq. I can’t wait. No more pain going through the many Iraqi blogs available online.

Here’s a video which explains what SocialRank is all about (it’s only a minute and a half long).

The techie in me is excited about this! If you have any questions drop them in the comments section. Yaaay!

PS: There are other non-DailyVoices websites powered by SocialRank on topics like Atheism, Feminism, cats and kittens, marketing, biking and even knitting! Yes, KNITTING! I had no idea people actually blogged about knitting!!
