Back in 2019, I was bemoaning the loss of Technorati and other RSS search engines like Ice Rocket and I didn’t think we would see their like again.
Well now it’s 2024 and there has been a renewed interest in RSS feeds and low and behold somebody launched a shiny new RSS feed search engine named Feedle. It’s pretty nice and I’ve gotten good results on my searches so far.
An RSS feed search engine isn’t going to replace general web search but it does compliment it and it’s handy to have in your search toolbox. This is important for blog discovery and a healthy independent blogging ecosystem.
It seems that Feedle does not just list any old feed. They warn you upon submission of your RSS feed URL that it will be reviewed for quality. I assume that means human review, which is a very good thing lest they get overrun by commercial dreck and snake oil salesmen.
Give Feedle a try and let me know what you think.
