 juliapatriciaroy says: I'm in love. Oh yes, with a search engine, but not just any search engine. This search engine will sign me up for 22 different search engine feeds (listed below) in one click. All I had to do is enter my search term, import the .opml file into my FeedDemon and snap, signed-up to receive updates on my selected keywords from 22 different search engines, wow that was easy. I dont know about anyone else reading but I have been spending endless amounts of times signing up for keyword searches on various search engines like feedster, ice rocket, google blog search, etc. I would always dread having to do this task. But now, new client... new project... no problem NICE! Wow. That's handy. I just went to sign up for this service and found that this clip is the fourth Google result for "monitorthis". Cool. Sweet! This is the last post I'm going to make on this clip ... but I like this so much that I created this: http://snipr.com/1ph9n Go to that page, enter your keyword(s), and get back a graphical OPML browser with the results of this search. enbar.... what is " a graphical interface to a broad-based search feed" I am totally confused by the site you posted?! Um ... guess it was a little confusing. Let me try to explain. You know how MonitorThis gives you back an OPML link? If you don't want to bother with putting the OPML into your RSS reader, you can do this instead. I'll walk you through the steps. Let's say you want to do a little ego surfing (who doesn't?). Go to MonitorThis. Enter julia roy in the search box. Copy the OPML link (right-click on "open file in web browser" then select "copy link location"). Now we want to browse the OPML without downloading it. Open http://www.Grazr.com. Click "Create a widget" at the top. In the first input box on the page, paste the OPML URI from MonitorThis that you copied in the last step. You... Okay, yah that makes sense to me. I am going to check it out after work and follow up with you. This is really cool, thanks! Oh, this is rss heaven! Thank you for pointing this one out! And FeedDemon is my first choice above all readers - I love it! it is great, although I have been finding that some of the search engines included in the 22 produce crap results... Yeah, you have to pick and choose which ones you want to look at based on what you're looking for. Another problem is that the different engines treat multiple-word searches differently. If you enclose a search phrase in quotation marks, you'll get unpredictable results. But for single-word keyword / tag searches, it turns up a lot of useful stuff. |
