Condesa Launches Blawg Republic

SAN DIEGO, CA - September 27, 2004 - Condesa, an internet media company, today announced the launch of Blawg Republic (http://www.blawgrepublic.com/), a free online service for searching, sharing, and tracking the latest news, and opinions moving through the legal blogging community.

Blawg Republic is a real-time search engine that monitors the legal blogging community every hour. People can browse excerpts on discussions, from Appellate Law to Technology Law. They can keep up with their favorite legal bloggers and track evolving discussions moving through the blawgosphere - the world of legal oriented weblogs.

"Blawg Republic caters to a niche audience that wants to keep track of what's important in the legal blogging community," Condesa's co-founder and CEO Merrick E. Lozano said. "It saves people time by narrowing their search to only information published by legal weblog authors."

All weblogs in the Blawg Republic Index have been categorized into one of over 30 law categories. Tracking a weblog or legal meme is easy via RSS feeds that are available for any search, and for each law category. Each weblog in the Blawg Republic Index is listed in the Directory along with its ATOM or RSS feed.

Blawg Republic is committed to adding more sources and fine-tuning its algorithms. If you know of a site that should be included in the Blawg Republic Index, feel free to submit it: http://www.blawgrepublic.com/submit.php

In addition to Blawg Republic, Condesa publishes Legal News Watch (http://www.legalnewswatch.com/), a legal oriented online news service and Asbestos Today (http://www.asbestostoday.com/), an online service that aggregates the latest asbestos and mesothelioma news.
