Google Custom Search Engines

Creating a Feed Reading Matrix

How you view your feeds depends on what you want them to do for you. I have used so many feed readers that did not agree with me. The first one I stuck with for a little while was Rojo, because at the time it was the only one that would sort feed items by date. Other feed readers would sort specific feeds by date, but I wanted the newest post out of all the feeds to float to the top and then on to the next newest item. I have about 600 feeds I subscribe to and no time to click each feed to find out if there were new posts.

The Ultimate Custom Search Engine

I don’t know if it would be for everyone, but for me yes. I have basically stopped bookmarking, because I end up with thousands and never find what I was looking for. Search the bookmarks is not enough. What would be cool is if a site could spider the pages of your own person bookmarks, so that you could search within the page of the bookmark. Not the whole site, just the one page. Or possibly if you bookmarked the index url, the whole site.

Seems that google has started its own version of 411, free of charge, of course, getting listed has to cost something. Will have to try it out.

Must Read Search Marketing Blogs

Must Read Search Marketing Blogs » Online Marketing Blog

This list tops my list of search marketing blogs, plus he adds the benefits of adding an opml file, which my list doesn’t have. I promptly downloaded the file and imported it into to Google Reader to give it my first try. Yes, this is must faster than Rojo is. I like it. I will keep track of feeds again, instead of being intimidated by a long list of feeds to go through one by one.

Don’t forget I added all the seo blogs I could find to my SEO Blog Search.

A Directory of Google Custom Search Engines

I am really hyped about this Google Custom Search Engine thing. It can become better than DMOZ in that it will have search capabilities. Hand picked sites from people you trust. A those who create the best search engines will get the most traffic.

 Why?

Because people are tired of spam.

So I created a directory of Google Custom Search Engines to list these new sites. It’s not pretty right now, but I will get to that.
