If more people used Technorati tags in their blogs, perhaps a classification of posts at least would be possible.

The update algorithm that I've been messing with works by detecting link cascades as a topic spreads between blogs. Apart from having three separate link structures, this is the most effective way of doing things from what I can see. Time to start looking at matrices mathematics again.

They would tend to update at around the same time, and they would link to a lot of the same sites. They would also respond to one another's blog entries. Instead of then checking each individual blog for updates, you could just check a small percentage of the set members to determine whether you should spider all the members. Of course, people rarely have a single passion, so there would be a lot of crossover: the challange is to find the right granularity. Just a thought.
