I thought a trend tool for blogs was an exclusive service provided by BlogPulse.com, which I featured in an earlier post.  However, when I checked out a new pinging service  called IceRocket.com, I saw that they also had a Blogs Trend Tool and it produced a graph similar to what Blogpulse displayed when I did a search for blogs that mentioned Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and wiretapping for the past two months.

You can clearly see that number of blogs mentioning GMA increased dramatically on June 27, the day when she aired her side regarding the controversial "Hello Garci" conversations that were supposedly ‘wiretapped.’
