PubSub Plays Ball with New Feature
The PubSub team released a new feature today that offers pre-built prospective searches to track blogosphere and other syndicated content about Major League Basball teams and players.
By going to PubSub Baseball you can simply click a team or player name and quickly have a professionally built query ready to place into an RSS aggregator or PubSub Sidebar. As the query matches new items from the stream of content entering the PubSub database, you'll be notified almost immediately.
When PubSub released their government info service a few weeks ago, I said that the company was smart to pre-build prospective searches for popular topics. Why? They offer more precise searches while also saving the user time and effort (a good thing). In other words, let PubSub do the heavy lifting so the user can be up and running in a matter of seconds.
