BloggerCon Buzz via Feedster

An RSS-powered continuous aggregation of blogs about BloggerCon03 is operating via Feedster as: BloggerCon Buzz. It appears to be unedited, because it is even picking up Unintended Consequences.

Hi there,

This definitely was unedited. It works by scanning over the blogosphere and picking up people talking about blogger con. I wrote it that way intentionally sicne I didn't want to limit it to the blogs that are only by bloggers physically in attendence. This conference very much happened online as well as offline and I thought that should be represented here.

Did you find it useful?

Best

Scott, indeed it was a useful tool. The volume of blogging coming out of HLS this weekend would make editing overwhelming. A good example of coding for a particular purpose. Did you trigger off of the URL for BloggerCon, or the phrase "BloggerCon" or what? Will it pick up the comments each time a new one is made if it meets the criterion? Or is there a filter for previously 'caught' URLs?
