RSS feeds would be provided to track queries over time.

It's a matter of selecting the right keywords/keyphrases.     I'm using the Google Blogs Alert, but it is not very efficient, because I get lots of feedback that I don't need.   I'm looking for something better, though.

Google already gives you related queries, but they are not good for brainstorming. « Last Edit: May 25th, 2009, 4:48pm by amichail » IP Logged DropZap - a new kind of block elimination game Benny Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 1024 Re: Brainstorming Search Engine - queries as answe   « Reply #3 on: May 25th, 2009, 5:50pm » Quote Modify I'm reading the contents of a website, and I've discovered: Roadie   It is a system that uses common-sense reasoning to discern the users' intentions, and uses this knowledge to help users reach their goals.   http://labcast.media.mit.edu/?p=73     Does this help?   IP Logged If we want to understand our world — or how to change it — we must first understand the rational choices that shape it.
