Mechanism
This Yahoo Pipe does the following:
- Aggregates these search results simultaneously:
- Del.icio.us (Search string would be used as tags)
- Findory
- Google Blog Search
- Google News
- Google Search
- Icerocket
- Live News Search
- Live Search
- Technorati
- Yahoo News
- Yahoo Search
- Filters the results and ensures that the links are unique.
- Sorts the results by date such that the latest addition onto the pool will appear at the top of the list.
In other words, it acts as an RSS feed alerts for all these search engines.
