Faceted Metadata and Search: New SearchTools Report.

Full-text search is a wonderful thing, but some kinds of information have extensive structure and meaningful attributes for each record. Traditional interfaces for structured data have required users to type into forms or choose from popup menus, but these are often confusing and don't provide enough feedback -- there's no way to tell if the choice is useful. A new way to search and browse using attributes, "faceted metadata", is providing dynamic and interactive access to complex information structures. [SearchTools News for 2002]

Radio Wishlist - RSS Explorer 2..

RSS Explorer Beta is a Radio UserLand tool that

opens RSS subscription lists from other people's web sites,
shows them to you,
checks if you are already subscribed to the same feeds, and
makes it subscribe to the found feeds.

A classic case of navigating through a social information space.

Well done!

I want more. 6 more features.

Look at the site associated with each feed. Check for its own mySubscriptions.opml file. If there, let me launch through that person's subscriptions.
Add my own mySubscriptions.opml file to the list, so I can start crawling through the subscriptions of my trusted sources.
Make it easy to type new mySubscription.opml urls into the page.
Show when the mySubscriptions.opml file was last updated.
A button to Subscribe to All.
Check each of the feeds for last updated date, and show it. I may not want to subscribe to dead or stale sources.

More great work from Dave's fevered brow.

Mastodonte Advertising.

With a lot of weblogs wearing their referrers on their sleeves, the Mastodonte Advertising campaign could prove to be a big stumbling block for blogdex. Given, it remains to be seen whether or not someone will pay $1k for the service, just their initial spam shot up blogdex in a matter of hours. I would imagine that over time, as referrer logs get more clogged with distracting messages (and don't think that Mastodonte is the first group to use this technique), there will be less of an incentive to post your referrers on your front page, and this problem will...
