Track keywords all over the place with MonitorThis
Merlin Mann | Nov 11 2005
Your ability to ego-surf yourself (or, I suppose, just track a favorite "non-you" topic) is now a lot easier. Tell MonitorThis your desired search terms, and it obligingly spits out an OPML file full of RSS feeds for tracking your quarry on 15 different search engines, including, Ice Rocket, Technorati, Flickr, and more. (This so aptly summarizes much of what's both fascinating, powerful, and incredibly creepy about the Interweb today.) 9 Comments

Very interesting, but really rough around the edges. I tried it out and got lots of resuslts, some related to the keyword, some not. A quick (10 minutes) skim of some of the feeds yielded nothing of interest. Though perhaps the fault is the sources' (blogs) rather than MonitorThis itself. The more I think about it, actually, the more sense that explanation makes. » POSTED IN:
