Search for authors on the web... WTF is the hold up?
Topic: Technology 12:40 am EST, Mar 20, 2006

Ever read something you liked on the Internet? A random op-ed piece, blog post, comment.

How do you search for other things that author wrote?

...

If you half way through saying "well, type their name in quotes in to Google..." just stop and think about that. Why do I have to sift through the noise of things that mention someone to find what they actually write. Maybe someone writes on numerous sites (Memestreams, the supernicety, MySpace). Maybe they use different names (Billy Hoffman or Acidus, Mike Lynn or Abaddon).

Why can't I tell Google "Find me everything that Billy Hoffman wrote?"

Why hasn't anybody fixed this? Dubin Core, RSS schemas, HTML <META> are all there. Why wasn't anyone compiled this?

Check with me in a few more weeks...
