    • ]]>     I’m not the first to notice this, but it looks like Google is playing with attaching some content insight into it’s search results. Search results for ScribbleLive liveblogs now have a little gray line of text under the title that says something like, “48 posts – Last post: 12 Aug.” They must be looking for repeating dates in the content, checking for a repeating HTML structure, and extracting the information. Very neat, indeed, Google :) I’m sure Matt would point-out that this is another benefit of using XHTML standards (or close to them).

    It kinda reminds me of a website I built in university called @Pad. It pulled the latest course news off websites by looking for dates in the format “##/##/#### ##:##”. It then grabbed whatever was the to the right of it. I might do the same for ScribbleLive one day to scrape in liveblogs from regular websites. Ya know, if I have a day to kill ;)
