ResearchBuzz points to her new keyword search tool, Kebberfegg that returns results in RSS (viewed as HTML) or OPML.

So what is the difference here?

Well it searches multiple sites at once, kind of like Talk Digger meta RSS search does for blogs, but it not only meta-searches blogs, it also covers web engines, news wires, tag sites, etc…this is all available in a drop-down category menu…there is a list of sources included in each category.
(TIP! hold CTRL down to choose multiple categories).

Seems to also accept URL searches.

Only thing is that you can’t choose which services from a category you want to include.

So from a search you have the choice of generating a HTML version which lists each individual feed from each service, or you can generate an OPML version so you can subscribe to the feeds from all of the services in one go, but still as separate feeds (just a more automated way of doing it, rather than importing a feed at a time.

But the only thing missing is a spliced RSS feed, so you only have to whack one feed in your RSS reader, this is where it is mainly different to Talk Digger.

So it is not a re-mixing tool but a meta-search tool that returns feeds, it just alleviates the task of repeating this search at all the different places…the OPML offering tops of what this service is about, convenience!
