YackTrack Adds Feeds, Launches APIs

See that YackTrack link at the bottom of this post (RSS readers click through to see what I mean). This little link lets you use the conversation tracking service provided by YackTrack to follow the discussion surrounding an article all across the net including sites like Digg, Disqus, FriendFeed, Mixx, StumbleUpon, Technorati, and WordPress. (You can read previous reviews of YackTrack over on ReadWriteWeb: Launch News and Chatter News).

Today, YackTrack has been updated once again. Now there is TypePad/MoveableType blog support, support for IntenseDebate, and improved Disqus support available.

However, the big news today is the launch of YackTrack RSS feeds and APIs. Yes! Yes! Yes! With the RSS feeds, you now have the option to subscribe to a YackTrack query in your favorite feed reader. This way, you can stay on top of the continuing conversation as it moves around the blogosphere and beyond. These feeds are available from both the main YackTrack page, where you query a link, as well as on the Chatter tab, which lets you search by keyword.

For developers, take a look at the YackTrack API Description to learn more about what’s being offered (a JSON API, for example) and build me some great tools.
