I have been running an F C Barcelona blog for some time – All About F C Barcelona. It’s always difficult to find the latest news and events related to the club. I regularly visit some well known websites and blogs to get up to date news about the club. Rest of the time is been used in searching for Barcelona related terms in search engine. Most of the cases, I would be searching everyday for the same search terms. Now that is quite boring and monotonous way of doing thing. Now there is a solution for this – FaveBot. Using FaveBot you can keep track of your favourite keywords. FaveBot returns you a set of recently updated sites, blogs etc which contain materials with the mentioned keywords.
FaveBot provides you the option to refine the search result depending on the type of source. You can chose from which all category the articles should be selected. The categories allowed are Blogs, Books, DVDs, Events, Music, News, Pics, Pods and Videos. FaveBot also offers the feature of serving the search results as an RSS feed to your feed reader. So from next time you can stop searching the latest news about your favourite club or celebrity, instead you can read it every morning. FaveBot may not be accurate but do throw up all the major websites related to the searching terms. Some of my favourite websites was missing – that may be because of the Spam filtering. FaveBot’s spam filtering discards all the sites which are hosted on free hosting service like Blogger. Even though I have purchased my domain allaboutfcbarcelona.com, it never showed up in the result because I am using the Blogger’s custom domain option. That is kind of a problem – because then this blog also will not feature in any of the searches. They should find a way to selectively exclude certain sites (which are good) that otherwise may come in the spam filtering category.

Thanks for posting about FaveBot.
FaveBot no longer excludes all BlogSpot blogs as I posted on the FaveBot blog in January. For the moist part, if your blog shows up in Google Blog Search results it will show up in FaveBot's Blog results.
