Now Google Does Synonyms
Quoting from Google Weblog:
Big News! New Google Operator. From Google Spokesperson, Nate Tyler:Today, Google introduced a new advanced search feature that enables users to search not only for a particular keyword, but also for its synonyms. This is accomplished by placing a ~ character directly in front of the keyword in the search box. For example, to search for browser help as well as browser guides and tutorials users can search for browser ~help. The ~ character was chosen because it's shorthand for approximate and a good way for users to express their wish to expand searches to include synonyms. More information about this feature is available. This enhancement shows that Google continuies to develop new resources that enable users to refine their searches to find the information they need. I hope you find the ~ operator useful - please take a look and let me know if you have any questions....

New Radio Feature
Quoting from UserLand Product News:
TrackBack for Radio is released. Radio supports both inbound and outbound TrackBack pings. For outbound TrackBack, all you have to do is enable the feature, and Radio will do the rest. Inbound TrackBack works similarly to comments -- a TrackBack link next to each post opens a pop-up window which displays inbound pings. To enable TrackBack for Radio, follow the instructions on this page. By lawrence@userland.com (Lawrence Lee).
