Interesting!

Wow,

this technique actually seems to start working, somewhat to my surprise I might add....
After reading more then 4 million feed-messages (yes, I believe I now have the largest online collection of feedmessages in the world) from allmost 400.000 feeds, the results are slowly but surely surfacing. Today I received nearly 100 unique generic visitors from google, from search queries I had never thought off before! This is very interesting technology indeed!!

One strange thing that has surfaced is the way google actually operates internally; when checking the content for www.rootpages.com, google shows about 7000 pages in the index, but when searching for payday loan only in the rootpages.com domain google returns more then 24.000 hits on the site! This is quite strange if you ask me.

Anyhow, I have upgraded the site with some better usability, and have added the functionality to register your own feed in my database. I am still working on the scanning algorithm and working hard to make it more scalable (one machine cannot cope with this volume, trust me!)

So, untill the searching and scanning algorithms are perfect, I will be missing out on a lot of sleep I guess ^_^

Greetings!
