Ideas
feed search
Setup a search service (either Autonomy or http://nutch.org/ ) and rather than crawling the site, simply index all the data we have available as a rss/xml feed.
Then embed the results like we do "BBC Recommended/Bestlinks" on the search results, or in a seperate panel on the right of those.
- Rewards projects that setup an RSS feed with extra promotion
- Using RSS feeds as (the only) data source tends to imply the content is recent, thus implicitly filters out the cruft
Rather than indexing stuff for ever and a day, we only index what is in the rss feed. Thus the content remains fresh and topical at all times.
It'd also be a way to build topical pages. Run a search for "chritsmas" against this engine, and build a page using the results. It'd be BBC only content, recent and relevent to the word.
