Search this

It’s a series of rotating, topical, pre-coded searches that reveal random news and crowd pulse discovery, or a laugh. Topics include politics, tech, and the passing scene for now, and they are all mixed into the rotation.

Once the archive has built up a little more, I might categorize them so you can see just one category or all of them. See the archives for a look at the searches that will appear in your widget.

The widget is a functioning form, so users can enter their own search terms and results from the same service (i.e. Twitter, Google blogs, Yahoo news) will be returned.

Easter egg: click on “Search this” to reload the widget and try a different search.

Write a comment to: suggest a new search or new category of searches; remind me if a search isn’t timely anymore; or to ask for help or customizations.
