Feedster, Inc. (www.Feedster.com), a rapidly growing search engine for online content and weblogs published using RSS, a newly popular XML standard, announced on November 15 its ability to segment search results by source type. The first example of the resulting specialty search engines is found at http://blogs.Feedster.com.
Scott Rafer, CEO of Feedster, said that Feedster’s harnessing of RSS is changing search and the expectations of Internet searchers, and that Feedster launched blogs.Feedster.com in response to user demand to offer blog search results separated from the news and e-commerce information.
Feedster.com’s most popular use to date is the delivery of search results, both as web pages and as RSS feeds that combine professionally published news with individual blogs. By providing tools that enable users to self-select search criteria, Feedster can deliver the most relevant and timely search results that match user preferences. Feedster also powers blog search for Eurekster (www.eurekster.com), the only Internet search engine powered by social networking technologies.
