Blogger Aggregator 383 views
November 2nd, 2004 5:19 AM PST
Welcome to SproutWorks Software, now featuring a Blogger Aggregator. "What is an aggregator?", you ask. An aggregator is one who collects things. In this particular case, it is a program that collects information from Blogger.

Blogger is a free blogging tool owned by Google. The other day I created an
account on Blogger. I looked through the source code of my blog and thought that it would be relatively simple to extract the text of each post. So in the last couple hours, I have created a program to do that.

My biggest curiosity at the moment is:

When Google finds the link to my blogger script, it will spider the links it contains, and index the text of the latest posts on Blogger. Then eventually Google's index of my site will grow and my site will turn up in more search results. Only time will tell.
