New Blog Search tools: Feeds, Hot Queries and Latest Posts
July 2, 2009
Ever since the new
Google Blog Search
homepage
launched
, we've been fielding requests for a myriad of different features. Today we're happy to announce the launch of our most requested feature:
RSS
and
Atom
feeds. Simply click on the links under "Subscribe" in the left-hand column of the Blog Search front page to subscribe to any topic or story in any feed reader, like
Google Reader
.
If you don't use a feed reader, we're also offering an
iGoogle gadget
that lets you embed the Blog Search front page right inside of your
iGoogle page
or any other page where iGoogle gadgets are accepted. You can browse topics and drill into stories from within the widget, and you can customize the gadget to choose which topics you want to follow.
With these new ways to read Blog Search stories, you might think our homepage was going unloved, but not to worry. We've also added two new features to the Blog Search homepage to better help you discover what people are talking about right now on the web: Hot Queries and Latest Posts.
Hot Queries lists searches currently popular in Blog Search — it's an easy way to quickly dive into the trending points of conversation on the web. Latest Posts, on the other hand, shows new posts from popular blogs. While Hot Queries highlights what people are looking for, Latest Posts lets you find out about stories even before people start searching for them.
There's a lot of great, fresh content being published in blogs every day. We hope these new features help you discover more of it, faster.
