Technorati, my favorite blog oriented engine just announced two new services. Breaking News and Hot Links. Breaking News shows articles from about 4000 "professional" news services that have been published in the last 12 hours that bloggers are talking about. (Take THAT Google News. ;-) ) Hot links shows links that bloggers are talking about in all categories in the past 12 hours in chronological order so you can see what is hot NOW. Very cool.

While delighted for the Technorati presence, I ought to say that their algorithms need tweaking: Its "Breaking News" is strikingly similar to FARK's list. I imagine that, as it gets more exposure, it will link to important news more accurately.
