The Truth Laid Bear began as a humble BlogSpot blog over three years ago, and has since evolved into a fully developed portal to the blogosphere. The TTLB Blogosphere Ecosystem is widely regarded as the definitive weblog ranking system, and TTLB receives an average of 1,100 visits and 2,679 page views per day.

TTLB is an independent venture of one individual, the pseudonymous N.Z. Bear, who is available for print, blog, and radio interviews upon request. Inquiries from investors with large sacks of cash are also most welcome.

On May 7th, 2006, the latest release of The Truth Laid Bear went public, bringing TTLB's functionality to a new level with new graphics, improved search capabilities, and many other enhanced features. Stay tuned for reactions around the blogosphere and the mainstream media!

"[I've been] noodling around on the impressive new Truth Laid Bear site. I'm not sure there's anything else like it on the Web--it groups blog entries by popularity and by topic ("Iran," "North Korea," "Linda Foley"). All the new MSM "blogwatch" columnists should now have easy jobs. Or else they've just been replaced by a robot."

"Bush staff members rely on technorati.com and truthlaidbear.com, which track political blogs and websites to see what items in local papers, on websites and in blogs are getting the most hits. "If a story moves up through the rankings and linking, we can know," says one of the Bush staff members assigned to alert the rest of the team about which stories are moving through the blogosphere. "We can get indicators about stories before they break elsewhere. It's like an early-warning system."


The Truth Laid Bear was featured on CNN's Inside Politics on June 27, 2005. Video, courtesy of The Political Teen, can be seen here.


"NZ Bear's Ecosystem is the hub of the blogosphere. This is a comprehensive who's who, a list of the members of the club. This is the community."

"...bookmark N.Z. Bear's remodeled The Truth Laid Bear site if you haven't already..."

"N.Z Bear (the other newly and happily married guy...) has launched the amazing and - as we say in California - bitchen' new ecosystem/ blog data site at www.truthlaidbear.com. He's a resource to us all, which is why he's been a Blogosphere Medal of Service listee on our blogroll for a long, long time. And he's a nice guy."


"Just took it for a spin... and the newly redesigned The Truth Laid Bear absolutely rocks."
