danbri: '"Web pages are hard to index without a standard structure," said Cleveland. "But Google can easily index RSS feeds."'
danbri: 'Cleveland said Google will likely use Blogger to develop sophisticated searches that utilize the rich metadata inherent in the RSS feeds from weblogs: who wrote what and when, what it linked to, what linked to it and its level of popularity with Web surfers.'
danbri: 'Cleveland said the search tool his company built for Blogger did exactly this kind of indexing on individual posts, in real time.'
danbri: '"By doing this we were taking a couple of baby steps down the road of what some have called the semantic Web -- a Web ... where computers can understand, at some level, the meaning and context of a Web page or blog post," he explained in an e-mail.'
