| Feed Search Engines |

RSS search engines are very cool. I'm surprised that Google hasn't started searching them yet, especially since they own Blogger. Or maybe they already do search them and I just can't tell.
RSS is useful because the information is usually fresh. Google's index update time is usually measured in weeks, not hours. Blogs empower anyone to be their own news outlet. Most current topics, especially technical, can be found on blogs all over the internet. They provide a sort of mini world wide web.
Implementing a feed search engine would be a fun project. Relevancy could be determined based on links between blogs and topics. |
