Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

So, Fresh Goo(gle) claims that it can run searches for you that shows you “what’s new,” AKA “sites that have been added” today, yesterday, in the last week, or in the last month. This is a GREAT idea. But, it doesn’t work. For example, if I do a phrase search for “Librarians Index to the Internet” and limit to Today, I get 2,250 hits. Now, I know Karen Schneider is good, but she’s not that good. Granted, the more you expand a search (to 7 days, to 30 days, to a regular Google search), the more hits you get, but I think what it’s looking at are pages that Google recently crawled, not pages that have been newly added. Would be cool if it worked though.
