PubSub

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PubSub is an Internet search engine for searching blogs.

The site operates by storing a user's search term, making it a subscription, and checking it against posts on blogs which ping the search engine. When a new match is found, the user is notified, even if it occurs months after the initial search. This feature has led PubSub to call itself a matching engine.

Results can be read on the service's website or on an optional sidebar, available for both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
