How quick is that?
Posted in Google on March 18th, 2008
Wrote a post on the norg this morning and went to Google blog search to do my usual browsing (I’m one of those odd fish that prefer browsing over RSS when I have the time) and already found my post indexed by Google. Wowsers that was fast!
With blog search, not a big deal because of ping servers. But I have set up Google alerts, and I get notifications sometimes within 45 minutes of me posting on my blog or comment and that something is in the main Google search index, which blows my mind.
I’m with you on browsing over RSS (hence why I only just saw your post now
). I think it’s because I appreciate the design of a site in presenting the text, like a newspaper. For me, the presentation adds meaning to the text just as much; makes the reading experience so much more enjoyable.
