Google Blog Search Gets New Features and a Gadget
Now Has Frequently Requested Subscription Features
By Chris Crum
Google has launched several new features for Google Blog Search today. These are: RSS AND Atom feeds, an iGoogle gadget, a "hot queries" features, and a "latest posts" feature.
RSS and Atom Feeds
Google says the addition of the feeds has been its most requested feature for Blog Search. Users can subscribe to specific topics or stories. There is a "subscribe" heading in the left-hand column on the site, and underneath that are links for Atom and RSS.
iGoogle Gadget
The gadget lets users embed the Google Blog Search front page on their iGoogle homepage (or other pages that are compatible with iGoogle gadgets). Within the gadget, users can customize the topics they want to follow and "drill into" stories as they wish.
Hot Queries
Hot queries is a feature that has actually been added to the Google Blog Search front page. It's pretty much what it sounds like. It listsl searches that are currently popular in Blog Search. Google says it's "an easy way to quickly dive into the trending points of conversation on the web." If you're not a Twitter user, it's probably a good alternative to Twitter's trending topics.
Latest Posts
Latest posts is also an addition to the Google Blog Search homepage. It 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," says Google on the company blog.
I'd say the new features are an upgrade for Google Blog Search. Would you agree?

Ghost Tweeting: Right or Wrong?Earlier this year at SES New York, Guy Kawasaki raised quite a stir when he gave his keynote address regarding his use of Twitter and specifically, his use of ghost tweeters. Although many SEOs disagree with his stand, Li Evans of Serengeti Communications defends him on the grounds of marketing.
Android's Impact on Mobile MarketSite speed has been a hot topic ever since Matt Cutts indicated it would be a critical part of the Caffeine Update. According to Michael Martin of Internet Marketing, Inc., it is just another move toward the evolving mobile market.
Breaking Down What Search IsAccording to Bruce Clay, the current concept of search is that a user has to know what he is looking for in order to type it into a search engine. He, however, believes search should be an extension of marketing since most searches are a direct result from other forms of media.
