Idea 1 done – Search term RDF feed
An RDF feed of the last 20 searches that led people to this weblog.
The URI of each item is the exact referer URL I saw.
The <title> is the search query they used.
The <link> is the URL on this weblog they ended up at.
The <description> is the domain name of the search engine they used.
I think this is a cool idea because:
- I spend too much time eye-grepping through my logs seeing what search terms people are using to find me. Now the information is available in real time in a convenient format.
- This is the big one: Imagine if all weblogs, or even if all sites, made this same information available. That would mean somebody could aggregate them all together, and we’d have the equivalent of the Google Zeitgeist, except updated in real time, and the data would be Free.
