Bloglines citation RSS hack!

Filed under: General, rss, tools, search

I haven’t got time to try this but I thought I’d put it out there…didn’t want to let it slip away.

Bloglines seems to be the only RSS engine which doesn’t generate a feed for citation searches (incoming links)…which is a pity as it probably currently does the best job.

A way around this may be to do a citation search on Bloglines, then monitor that search using a URL tracer like WatchThatPage or TrackEngine.

Firstly create a Bloglines Email Subscription, then join one of these monitoring services with that Bloglines generated email (I’m not sure if they will accept this email address), then do your search at Bloglines and hit your monitor service bookmarklet.

Hopefully any new content will be sent to your Bloglines RSS reader!

Pluck has a persistent search feature, I wonder if this would work, has anybody tried this?
