Hi - I'm looking for an open source meme tracker - something that will let me crawl blogs, process their common threads and then display the results. These meme trackers are currently in use by sites like techmeme and megite. Looking for example apps that can help me also take social inputs and then be able to display threaded discussions. Thanks for any help.

More info at www.pligg.com
Take a look at Yahoo Pipes (http://pipes.yahoo.com) - you can create a work-flow and then run the resulting results through something that analyzes relationships better. I am not aware of any tool that duplicates what guys like techmeme do. Hmmmm.... interesting....

I'm working on creating an open source for Google Summer of Code. It won't be done until August or so (and even then not completely). Check out the progress at http://groups.drupal.org/memetracker
