Real-Time Blog Search Comes to WordPress

It seems as though blogs have been taking a backseat to the instant updates of platforms like microblogs. However, blogs are fighting back and WordPress is leading the way. According to reports from sources such as VentureBeat, WordPress has enabled a feature that allows users to search for blog posts as soon as they are published, similar to the instantaneous updates of Twitter. The new feature, RSSCloud, makes it possible for blogs to tap into search engines and notify them of new content.

VentureBeat writes, “with WordPress serving up millions of active blogs whose updates can now be tracked within seconds, it’s a given that support for RSSCloud will spread across the Internet in coming weeks”. Will RSSCloud spell a comeback for traditional blogging?
