Google Base Experiment

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 22:17:57 GMT

I experimented with uploading RSS to Google Base and found it quite easy. Following Niall Kennedy's instructions, I first created a Webpage that enhanced RSS with Google Base's RSS extensions using an XSLT.

Original RSS + XSLT = Enhanced RSS

Then I began uploading, which is a very manual task of naming and selecting files. I encountered a Beta limitation after uploading my 10th monthly archive (10 bulk uploads max). Later, I was able to search and discover these blog entries at Google Base. Next, I plan to remove what I've already uploaded and start anew, but with much larger RSS files (working around the max 10 issue). Hopefully, I can get the majority of my blog entries indexed tomorrow.

Scott Grayban: Our new name is "Juice" or "Juice Reciever".

Randy: I wonder how difficult it would have been to do a Google serch for "juice reader", "juice rss", "juice download", etc? What can you expect from people who original named their product after an obvious trademark.
