Weblog/Feed Search: Feedster 2.0 Now Online

This blog post offers an overview about what's new at Feedster (yes, Feedster, a name we haven't mentioned in some time) and specifically version 2.0. We're going to spend some time using and comparing with other blog and feed search tools. More soon.

What to Look for:
+ Limit your search on the home page UI to:
++ All Feeds
++ Blogs
++ New Feeds
++ Podcasts

+ Completely New Design
+ Content Channels (aka Feed Buzz)

Each channel has been built from hand-selected feeds that match the general topic. The criteria for selection were as follows:
1) Frequent updates
2) Widely read
3) Largely and consistently confined to one topic
4) Valuable information

+ Feedster Widget
+ New semantic search technology. The blog post mentions that because of this Feedster can, "effectively limiting spam." This is one thing we will be looking at in our testing.
