Google Search as RSS

Finally some great news from Google: The search results in RSS format.

Huh, RSS, Search results ? What does this mean ? Allow me to explain.

Remember iGoogle or GoogleReader? These are applications that can consume
RSS feeds. An RSS feed is in fact a list of items (news, images, etc).
Imagine that an RSS feed is dynamically updated and if provided through
the Web you will always have the latest items in the feed.


Now the interesting part: The search results as an RSS feed. This means
that anytime of the day, you'll see your most recent result for example
in iGoogle. For example if you want to know if your company is in the 10
results based on a number of keywords, than this is the way to (inactively)
keep track of it.


This is very interesting development on Google search. Soon this feature will be launched.
