Note: CogDogBlog has a new WordPress powered home at http://cogdogblog.com/. All entries from this version have been moved there, so as a guide dog service try finding this article in its new home by title search.
Feedster is offering a new search tool to help you find content that comes from weblogs, a handy way to scope your web searches.
For the uninitiated, Feedster provides a google-like interface for searching things found in RSS feeds. It offers tools to store your own set of feeds (like another flavor of Bloglines as a web based RSS reader), services to get updates by email, and likely quite a bit more (it has been a while since I rummaged around Feedster).
Some quick and not so dirty examples of Feedster Blog search results (you gotta love being able to save these as URLs):
Learning Object
Podcast
Social Computing
Probably a little used gem of note that Feedster search results are themselves available as an RSS feed, e.g.:
Learning Objects Feedster Search RSS
