Novedge Pulse, a CAD blog'gregator

I suspect, hope, I’m not the only blogger who uses a “vanity search” to see who’s linking/mentioning his content*. When I got back from holiday the feed showed a bunch of links coming from a new site. Pulse is Franco Folini’s, of Novedge, aggregation site which gathers a bunch of blog content (extracts only with links to the full post) into one “CAD, AEC & DCC Super site & RSS Feed”.

In addition to providing an overview of a wide range of content it also allows readers to vote on the worth, or otherwise, of content by registering a “Beat” (keeping the Pulse going I guess) or a “Burn”. Click on the “Bloggers” button and you’ll see a gallery with thumbnail portraits of all the contributing bloggers. Thankfully there’s no  vote on that page

I see my mug shot hasn't made it into that particular rogue's gallery, and that's probably a good thing. :)

I was joking about the blogger rating :-)

Hi Robin,
Thank you for posting about Novedge Pulse. I understand you concerns about the rating system. For the same reason I've put some additional effort to be sure the rating is clearly associated to the article or the blog post, not to the person or the company.
Interestingly, showing a face associated to each blog post seems to have such a powerful visual impact that many visitors don't even notice that Novedge Pulse also aggregates all the CAD/CAM/AEC/DCC news in real-time.
