It's amazing how I still discover high pagerank sites that I have never seen. Backtype is pretty cool, and a great way to track your progress on twitter and the social network sites.

I think this has potential to be a great site, but did I miss something? Their developers page says "BackType indexes and connects millions of comments from hundreds of thousands of blogs, social networks and other social media."

I was dismayed to see that, at present, it only seems to analyze Twitter tweets and followings. I'd like to see something more robust. I rarely use Twitter, but I use Facebook almost every day and there are other popular social media sites that just aren't there.

No, but I’m really going to do that. Thanks David
