Andorati - Search The Blogosphere on Your G1Another first from Brilaps. A brand new native G1 application to search the blogosphere.

Andorati is a Technorati.com client that brings the blogosphere search to your G1 Phone. Pick your tag, or type your search. You’ll get the latest of what’s being blogged around the world.

Andorati also features an easy bookmarking mechanism. You can add the blog, and the blog post to your browser bookmarks. This way, you can also access those sites from the G1′s web browser later on. (*hint: Andorati also implements a multi-select bookmark cleanup feature)

The initial beta release of Andorati is “Andorati4Geeks“. Andorati for Geeks require that you have an APIKey from Technorati to enable the searches. The APIKey is assigned to you when you register a free account on Technorati.com (http://technorati.com/developers/)

pubhubsubhub – Prospective Search with XMPP Delivery

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

pubhubsubhub is a data (news) aggregator which can deliver your “topics of your interests” to you as Instant Messages.

You can almost consider it as an RSS Reader with the convenience of an IM.

Anytime I come up with (or come across an) idea, if it’s Web applicable, Google’s App Engine has been the platform of my choice. While glancing through the SDK Documents I came across Prospective Search and further more reading landed me on the XMPP.

Long story short, after reading through the docs and looking at a few samples, pubhubsubhub is born to possibly turn into something more than a news aggregator which is capable of delivering the subscribed topics (search results) as instant messages.

It is quite neat with Adium plus Growl notifications. While on GTalk widget in GMail, I’d recommend to have the pubhubsubhub popped out.

Currently, the search data is coming from approximately 1000 sources with high recent-popularity. That’s why I personally find it very useful to keep an eye on the recent / trending events.
