Custom Keyword Webfeed Tool: Blogdigger
Interesting tool Amy has found called Blogdigger. Feedster is pretty flaky. I’ve got two feeds I track, but I can’t get back into my account to edit, delete, or add more feeds. Sigh
In case you haven’t noticed, I try to stay abreast of new developments on a wide range of topics.
One of my favorite ways to accomplish that is custom keyword webfeeds. This means I conduct keyword searches of sites which aggregate massive numbers of webfeeds (RSS or Atom), and then use that search as the basis of a custom keyword feed, automatically generated by the search service. That feed will then alert me about each new occurrence of my target keyword that shows up in the feeds monitored by that site.
For a long time I had been generating these customer keyword search feeds through Feedster. And they worked well – for awhile. Unfortunately, like many hugely popular free Web-based services that are run by one or a few people, Feedster’s custom webfeeds have gotten quite flaky on me for awhile. They would break, or wouldn’t update appropriately. I still love Feedster and I still use it, but for custom webfeeds I need a more reliable solution.
I think I’ve found it: Check out Blogdigger…
