The RSS Blog

News and commentary from the RSS and OPML community.

Wouldn't it be fun to just create a grid of search features and search engines and rank the engines either good, bad or none (not present) on each feature?

If you think I'm wrong on any point, then feel free to comment. Am I missing anybody? I didn't include BlogPulse, PubSub, Blogdigger because all three seem to be experiencing brokenness these days.

Notes: I included Bloglines as part of AskJeeves. Bad usually means, it's there, but it doesn't really work. Yahoo! actually had multiple offerings in many areas like (Flickr and Yahoo! search both having image and tag searching).

Do you think that all those features are equally weighted?
