Yesterday I wrote about how the nickname “webfeed” is starting to become part of the online vocabulary. If you’d like to track this over time yourself, Feedster makes that easy with keyword-based custom webfeeds. Just subscribe to either of these URLs in your feed reader:
- RSS format webfeed: http://feedster.com/search.php?q=webfeed&sort=date&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&content=full&type=rss&limit=15
- Atom format webfeed: http://feedster.com/search.php?q=webfeed&sort=date&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&content=full&type=rss&limit=15
More about this cool trick…
…Those webfeeds from Feedster show all recent occurrences of the term “webfeed” on the more than 600,000 feeds that Feedster currently aggregates.
In case you didn’t realize it, you can create a custom feed like this for any keyword search you do on Feedster – just look at the top of the results page. Click any of the little blue-and-orange buttons there to generate a custom feed based on the keywords you just searched for. Neat, huh? I create these custom feeds all the time, to track current discussion of topics that interest me (such as this Atom-format “corporate weblogs” feed).
The folks at Feedster have taken an interest in the nickname “webfeed.” Today, they blogged my article on the propagation of that term – see Our expanding blogcabulary.
That Feedster blog entry also linked to an excellent CIO.com article about “plogs” (project logs), another new term emerging in the online world. See “The Virtues of Chitchat: A modest proposal for using blogs to keep IT teams and management up-to-date on implementation,” by Michael Schrage. This is a cool topic that I’ll write more about later.
