Check out their many different options for finding feeds.

I usually use:
http://www.feedster.com/feedfinder.php/

You can also put in any domain and see what feeds they offer (since not everyone puts and obvious links on their main page).

They are new and not all-inclusive, but a valuable resource that keeps improving.

This discussion of Google using RSS for Blogger is all well and good, but what about the broader question of integrating RSS into their mainstream search services? By comparison, Feedster searches RSS, and provides its results in RSS. But to get an RSS feed for a Google search you need to use the 3rd party GoogleAlert. Not to mention that Google recently shut down a third party news-to-RSS service. Aren't the guys from the Googleplex supposed to have technological vision or something?

A similar web based service is myFeedster.

Another very useful resource is Feedster's Top 100 compiled daily from users of our myFeedster aggregator (yes I work for Feedster).

What's happening here is full content feeds versus summary / excerpt feeds. There's no standard in the RSS world for what you get but generally you get full content from blogs and non commercial sources while you get summary content from commercial sources that want to actually drive you to their site.

Sign up for a few blogs with full content and you'll be much more impressed.

I use feedster to search for Nashville (where I live). It has become part of my daily browsing. I learn all kinds of things about what is going on in my area this way.

Hint: Add a google news feed of a search for your local to feedster and you get all the google news stories too. Don't know how to get a RSS feed of Google News? Check out gnews2rss.

feedster has been doing that for along time. more intelligent i might add, based on images in rdf newsfeeds.

I agree that the internet is made for searching. Also, with engines like feedster.com popping up, searching != google. I do still use books though. Books are a great way to go through a linear learning process. Since I learn from books I often return to books when I want to remember something that I have already "learned". -Jaxn

Feedster

Feedster.com (formerly known as Roogle, for RSS Google) is a blog search engine that has been around for a while now. It'll be interesting to see how Feedster does once Google comes out with their engine. If it's shot to oblivion, it won't be the first time Google dominated a search engine niche.

Maybe Napster should come back and sue all these *ster names. Its like everywhere I go there is something.. for an example roogl--err i mean, feedster. What has happen to creativity..
