03/13/2003 12:59 PMWelcome to the RSS Search Engine Formerly Known as Roogle -- I
Give you Feedster !
Well I've got two very good pieces of news for today. The
first one is the new name: feedster.com. The site
is up and working. Feel free to stop on by.
Logo help from Etation
Media and I know about the swoosh...
The Name
I know we're going to get comments on the name. Its ok
folks. A name is a name and this one is short (8 chars), .com
and has at least something to do with the concept (RSS is a feed after
all) but unique enough to be brandable. Also at this point I
think everyone would rather have us making you the best possible RSS
search engine NOT doing the corporate naming exercise. I've done
those and they aren't pretty.
New Feature
Search results are now subscribable via RSS. Lets say you
want see daily results for a search on 'feedster' then just search for
that on Feedster and then subscribe to the RSS icon at the bottom of
the page. Brent from Net News
Wire pushed me on this and helped me understand the <SOURCE>
element which is now supported. Thanks Brent! I also
tested this in AmphetaDesk which worked like a champ.
Known Issues
Here are a couple of things:
- I'm not 100% certain if this RSS of search queries works correctly
in Radio. I've had problems but it could be me. Or it
could be content encoding on RSS feeds that tell me they are in
English when they're really in Russian. Until we get language
detection in place, this is probably going to be an issue.
Working on it.
- The CSS tabs look horrible at least on my OSX box. Anyone
have a thought? They work on IE 5.5 (pc), IE 6 (pc), Opera 7,
Konqueror (more on that next post) and Mozilla.
If You Find a Problem
We could use the help getting any issues addressed. There
is a mechanism for reporting issues (and easily capturing the
page on which the problem exists). Let's say you do a search and
notice that your blog title isn't correct (as they aren't for all too
many blogs; mostly my bad). Click on the Report Problem link and
just tell us about it. Since query results can change, you might
want to paste in the blog's url. I'll look into adding that at
the result list element level but no promises since that would mean
making an icon.

I was just interviewed about Feedster by an Infoworld
reporter. Interesting. Now I'm not praising this by any
means but we've put less* marketing effort into
Feedster than I have for any other product in my career. That's
a testimony to the power of blogs if I ever saw one.
*that could also be written as "no marketing effort at all".

ones that most interest me are those that enhance cross-blog

My name is in their list, and I'd like to return the thanks by
congratulating them on their success over the past 12 months.
Feedster has become as important to me as Google in my searching
tasks, which is no small feat. I'm betting they'll see even greater
success in the year to come.
How to Add Feedster to Mozilla
How to Add Feedster to Mozilla
03/19/2003 10:27 PMHow to Add Feedster to Mozilla and Other Cool Mozilla Stuff
From "Andy a true MacDaddy of Mozilla" (at least from my biased
perspective) comes how to add Feedster as a search option right to
Mozilla.
Feedstering Mozilla
Time to set up a new Mozilla keyword
shortcut RSS.
A few steps in the process: [_Go_]
.. (steps to do this)
Scree
nshot of the resulting dialog. Now, you can type "rss foo"
in the url bar to search for foo on feedster.
Very nice.And if you're into Mozilla (heck even if you're
not) then you should check out:
Infoworld, Feedster, RSS
Infoworld, Feedster, RSS
03/19/2003 10:27 PMInfoworld on Weblogs
Wow. I had no idea this was going online yesterday just a few
hours after I spoke to her (Cathleen is the new Infoworld editor for
blogs for Infoworld):
Unlike
typical Web search tools such as Google that index Web content at the
page level, RSS-focused search engines index RSS feeds and do so more
frequently and at a finer level of granularity. "There is a huge need
for this capability in blogs. Blogs are heavily nested and interlinked. We take
that data stream and go all the way with it. We are getting the whole
information feed, storing it, and indexing it," Johnson said. more..
.
Interestingly their own search engine doesn't even have this
indexed. Link /
Picture. So I went and looked for their RSS feed using Syndic8 and
went to add it to Feedster and .... it was already in
our database. I went and checked using our "Drill" function to
look at all posts from InfoWorld and there it was.
Their search results, unfortunately, aren't very good though since
their RSS is just article titles, not full content. Hrm....
Thanks
to Sentence & Solas who blogged this before I did. Much
appreciated.
Feedster -- DeDuped !
Feedster -- DeDuped !
03/19/2003 10:27 PMFeedster -- DeDuped !
Ok. Based on really strong user feedback, I'm going to take
this live earlier than I had expected. What I'm referencing is
the experimental de-duping I blogged about last night.
Here's the issue:
You're a blogger. You publish content at both micro and macro
levels. In particular you have multiple RSS feeds syndicated out
for different content views. For a publisher and for a reader,
that's great. Extreme microtargeting of the audience w/ little
more effort than checking a box in Radio (categories) or Movable type
(can't remember the feature name).
Here's the problem from a search perspective:
Identical posts but with different urls clutter up the search
results. You know it feels wrong but you may not even be aware
of why.
The solution
Smart De-duping. As part of the indexing process, we're
calculating a post level "signature" and then filtering by that rather
than by the url. Here's a picture of before and after side by side.
One thing ... I haven't (yet) put in a Google like prompt "We
eliminated some duplicate results, click here to redo the
search". That'll come in the next day or two but I want to make
some improvements in the overall result set display so that it fits in
better. If anyone desperately needs the duped results, let me
know and I'll restore it at a separate url.
Anyone Want a Feedster Bookmarklet ?

03/19/2003 10:27 PMAnyone Want a Feedster Bookmarklet ?
I was thinking it would be really useful to just highlight some
text on a webpage and click a bookmarklet in your browser link
bar and have it do a feedster search. Matt Mower gets all the
credit for this idea. And, well of course, Bottom Feeder
who already has this working.
Anyway ... I just update to IE 6 which seems to have disabled
bookmarklets. I can drag it to the links bar andeven though I
say Yes its ok to add it, it seems to just disappear into the
void. Anyone know anything?
So I have most of the code for this but I can't test the pesky
thing. Arrggh!

I know this going to sound silly -- but now I **know** Feedster
works. A friend of mine just bought an iPod and they were asking
me about the FM radio adapter. I know I saw one talked about in
the blog-o-sphere recently so I ran a query for iPod and came up with the result. How damn cool. It
really is like searching either your short term memory or searching
conversations you just happened to listen in on.
A lot of times developers don't actually use the things they
build. Or use them peripherally at best. It really is cool
when they work and you have that "ah ha" moment.

something that's functionally equivalent? Anyone tried both and care

10/28/2003 11:08 PMGGSearch is Coming to Feedster
I've had some interesting IM chats with Pieter and he's updating
GGSearch for Feedster. GGSearch is a client side (for Windows)
tool for more easily building Google searches and its actually pretty
darn cool. The way it works is it builds up a search query and
then sends it to the browser. Pieter made a conscious decision
to avoid the Soap api for Google and he's going to apply the *same
approach to Feedster -- just build up a url. Give Pieter any
comments you have on how a client side API for Feedster might
work.
*Note: We do have a Soap API for Feedster although it is currently
undocumented.

The bookmarklets have already been well received by at least one happy user. Today's back
end work mostly so don't expect any dramatic changes. We're
continuing to tune "frequency of blog checking algorithms" which is
obviously an area of big concern for everyone.
