This morning, we went live with a new event page for the Academy Awards.
We have created nomination subscriptions in many of the Oscar categories. There are graphs for data we call “Match Counts", which displays the number of daily results for a particular nomination as it relates to the other nominations in that category.
You will also notice the green “+” icon which will automatically add that subscription to your PubSub account.
I’m going to try something new. Every Friday, I will post a tip on how to best use the PubSub service. Today, I focus on the “URI” attribute.
If you wanted to the engine to match any weblog posts that have a link to an mp3 file in it, just put URI:mp3 in your query. In additon, you can limit the results by putting in some keywords. Thus a query for (podcast | podcasting | podcasted) AND URI:mp3 will match results that have the specific keywords AND have a link to an mp3 file.
If there are any PubSub tips that you would like to share, send us a note.
The news spreads around the blog world at a fast pace. Here are some of the topics which we picked up on today.
1) The Senate voted on a new bill that would limit class-action lawsuits in state courts.
2) Karl Malone is retiring from the NBA, without that coveted championship ring.
3) Arthur Miller died yesterday at the age of 89. Arthur Miller was the focus of our subscription of the day.
4) Jeff Gannon is really James D. Guckert.
5) The NHL season is (almost) officially cancelled.
6) Google seems to have offered to host some of the content from Wikimedia.
