Grazr link search for blog posts

Filed under: blogs, rss, conversation, readers, opml

At the end of my blog posts I have links to blog engines so you can see who is linking to the post you are reading. What if in every post you spiced this up by putting the RSS feed of each link search in a feed Grazr.
This means you’d have to automatically generate an OPML URL (of link searches) for each post.

Now instead of clicking on each link, which launches to each service, you can view all this within a Grazr window at the end of each post…it may be a bit much having a Grazr box on each post, so maybe a link to pre-made Grazr box at the Grazr site.

Grazing Technorati Search

Filed under: General, rss, opml

Raj Kumar Dash has posted on the possibility for a Grazing List Technorati mashup, although he doesn’t seem to use the term Grazing Lists.

He posts that it would be a great idea to collect all the blog feeds from each item in a Technorati search, and create an OPML Grazing List to do a bit of feed shopping.

It seems people are starting to think about this concept as I posted a while back about Adam Green’s efforts in culling feed URL’s from the latest at tech.memeorandum into a Grazing List.

Raj’s example could be similar, as a live OPML, the feeds in the Grazing List would change reflecting the differences in the result set if you did the same search in Technorati every hour.

Maybe Technorati will adopt this soon, for every search they could offer a feed shopping or feed grazing OPML…maybe even an OPML for the actual search results (eg. gada.be, OPML search, and some meta-tools)…this could also apply to Technorati Tags.

A step further after collecting source feeds from items in a search result and wrapping them in an OPML-to-graze, is to enhance this Grazing List by annotating it, almost like descriptive metadata about the source feed…and Adam Green once again pushed the envelope to Annotated Grazing Lists.

Search Engine Newsmaster

Filed under: rss, newsmaster, readers, search

If you are into keeping abreast with search engine related news check out this marvellous homemade newsmastering portal, Search Engine Feeds…I love the Cookie Monster mascot.

As you can see there are 6 topics, and each topic has 2 sub-sections…here is a topic called Search Engine feeds, a sub-section is Search Engine Blogs, another sub-section is Search Engine Forums.

As you can see each item is a headline if you click on one you will see full-text, a link to the source, a link to the source article, and a link to discuss the post in SEO Forumz.

If you scroll more on this page you will see a section for Latest Search Engine Feed Articles, and Popular Search Engine Feed Articles…also at the top of the page there is a directory path to help you remember where you are…a well designed site.

Search
- you can limit search to a section or even a source…this is the only place where I could spot an aggregate of all the source feeds.

Featured feeds
- seems to be a work in progress, the posts are assigned categories, one of these categories is a whole lot of feed profiles, the others are editorial posts…maybe this will end up being a digest of articles from the main portal.

Feedback

I’d like to see source feeds listed in the sidebar when viewing a section page, and even limiting contents to just one feed.

There are no RSS feeds…one for each section and sub-section, and the whole portal would be great…and what about search feeds.

I’d like to see the same for OPML…a Reading List for each section, sub-section, and a mother Reading List.

Maybe a tagcloud to view contents, although the advanced search helps.

All in all an awesome site, great instruction, design, and contents…here’s the homepage.

NOTE: I’d like to see MySyndicaat have a page where you can view contents from all your Feedbots, like the Search Engine Feeds page. When you click on a Feedbot you would go just to the Feedbot viewer page, and be able to see all the sources feeds on the sidebar, plus links to the other Feedbot Viewers, and a link to the all Feedbots page…or perform all this within one Feedbot…more.
