Robert Scoble Meme

The guys at Megite not too long ago created a personal meme based on Robert Scoble’s OPML file.
I have read recently that Robert subscribes to something like 900 different feeds (at least on his bloglines account, maybe many more in Google reader), and you can expect the quality to be both very high and diverse.

In the same way as Alister Cameron created a custom search for the top SEO blogs, he has now created a Google Custom search based upon Robert Scobles OPML file.

Permalink for Scoble Search:

Scoble Search

This allows you to perform a Google search only of blogs that Robert reads. It is quite likely this will provide some of the highest quality search results regarding technology.
Certainly with the SEO search, the SEO Custom Search was deemed to provide better specific search results than using Google Search directly.

Better Technology Search Results

Google Custom Search tends to give more current search results

Robert will certainly prefer these results

As you can clearly see, http://scobleizer.com is finally the first result.

Taking the mashup one stage further, you can now have Robert Scoble search right on your Google Toolbar, along with live feeds from the Megite meme.

In many ways the megite is a great alternative to Robert’s Google Reader shared feed. It doesn’t reflect what Robert likes, but what the people he reads like and link to.

Add Robert Scoble to your Google Toolbar

It should be noted that this will only work with the Google Toolbar for IE, or the beta version Google Toolbar for Firefox
