Topix.net CEO Rich Skrenta informs me that today his firm will announce that it has been selected by Ask Jeeves, Inc. to provide local news to the Ask.com News channel. As a result, Topix.net will provide Ask.com visitors access to local news gathered from over 7,000 sources - including weblogs. In short, this means that certain blogs (the 500 in Topix.net's crawl) will become even more visible to the general public, thanks to this new distribution deal. You can view Topix.net news/blog links on this page of Manhattan news.
