adding search engine feeds to netnewswire

| | Comments (0)

This adds uniform search across blogdigger, yahoo, and google. findory is dead. feedster and daypop simply suck and weren't worth all the timeouts.

tell application "NetNewsWire"
  activate
  set search_terms to {"%22Eric+Hodel%22", "%22Ryan+Davis%22", "ImageScience", "ParseTree", "RubyInline", "ZenHacks", "autotest", "image_science", "ruby+heckle", "ruby+obfuscator", "ruby2c", "vlad+ruby", "zenspider", "zentest"}
  repeat with search_term in search_terms
    set the_url to "http://www.blogdigger.com/rss.jsp?queryString=" & search_term & "&sortby=date&days=20"
    subscribe to the_url

    set the_url to "http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=" & search_term
    subscribe to the_url

    set the_url to "http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&tab=wb&q=" & search_term & "&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss"
    subscribe to the_url
