Follow Stories with Cluster Permalinks

I just rolled out a minor but important new feature across the memetracker network that I’m building (TechWatching, Wheelscore, SunMeme, PlasticBasket) - story cluster permalinks.

For background, a “story cluster” is a group of stories around a certain topic - a “meme” or summary of a blogosphere discussion. A story cluster permalink gives you a permanent URL for viewing story clusters - so if you’re following Cadillac’s hybrid motorbike or Fred Wilson’s views on Triangulation, you can follow that story today, tomorrow, a month from now, a year from now - whenever, not just when its still on the front page.

To get to a cluster’s permalink, just look for the “PERMALINK THIS CLUSTER” link at the top of each cluster.

So - enjoy!
