Blogs of the Day (BOTD)
The blog aggregator lets you see what other people are saying at USF and lets the rest of USF see what you’re writing. We want to expand that idea to the world outside of USF. Enter Blogs of the Day. BOTD is a directory of new and popular blog articles. It tracks each participating site’s traffic (unique page views) and highlights the most popular articles in ordered lists. Basically, BOTD lets the world outside of USF know what’s going on at blog@USF and it lets you compare the traffic that you’re getting on your blog to many other blogs.
