Blog Business Summit: Searching & RSS

Know More: Blog Business Summit 2.0, Blog Business Summit

Halley Suitt, Mary Hodder and Dave Taylor are talking about tracking the blogosphere buzz by using RSS and search engines.

Would you believe Mary has over 100 searches that she follows on a number of different sources? Each search targets keywords or phrases that she is interested in monitoring. I need to set up something similar for AListReview and DoRealTime.

Some people didn't know that you could subscribe to headlines and other information from many news sites - CNN and Sports Illustrated. Halley points out that the RSS information is hidden and not easy for everyday users to find.

The speakers are engaging, but I'm suffering an after lunch sleepiness. I'm not the only one - only the baby is showing much life. A turn outside during the break should clear the cobwebs.

Steve Broback asked what should done when a blog doesn't have an RSS feed. The surprising answer from Mary was that the author's wishes not to have an RSS feed should be respected. Not sure I agree with this, because many bloggers don't know how to enable their RSS feed.

Hi Diane,
I'm here in Seattle attending the BBS as well. If you see me at the session tomorrow (my picture is on www.propr.ca), please grab me and say hello. I'd like to meet you.

I have an rss feed on my site I made 6 months ago. It is starting to get popular so I wanted to make sure it is working at 100% capacity. Is there anyway to verify my rss feed to make sure everyone can view it without errors? Thank you!
