BoleyBlogs! » LexisNexis Adds Blog Content- Paul L. Boley Law Library

Wow.  LN licenses a blogging indexing service from a closed-source blogging aggregator.  Nice.  According to the press releases (here and here) Newstex “licenses influential blog content directly from independent bloggers and then takes in each carefully selected blog feed in text format and uses its proprietary NewsRouter technology to scan it in real-time”.  In turn Newstex sells this tagged info to corporate rubes to slow to have figured out that they can get pretty much the same thing for free from Google or have their IT department whip something together over lattes at Starbucks.  Sometimes I do believe I’m in the wrong ned of the business:)
