blogwebinar.com: London Bombings Overwhelm Blogosophere

The important post from Sue MacDonalds, our BlogPulse NewsWire editor. The consumer behavior described is extremely important for companies/brands to internalize.

Wednesday's terrorist bombings in London exerted a single-minded focus on the blogosphere, capturing 90% or more of blog-related buzz. Today's results show that 36 of the top links involved coverage of the bombings, and 37 of the top 40 key phrases used most frequently by bloggers discussed the blasts and the aftermath -- phrases that included "london explosions", "tube stations" and "morning rush hour."

And strange as it may seem, an event of this proportion finally pushed another Brit -- fictitious Harry Potter -- from atop the list of personalities discussed most by bloggers. That spot is now held by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, while eyewitness Belinda Seabrooke is today's "burstiest" person, meaning she shot from obscurity to the top spot amongly newly discussed personalities. She's joined on the bursty list by Metropolitan police commissioner Sir Ian Blair, London Mayor Ken Livingstone and British Home Secretary Charles Clarke.

Streettech.com blog points out that Wikipedia's coverage of the bombings represents a new way of collaborative citizen journalism, while many bloggers cited The Guardian's blog as another fine example of up-to-date coverage.
