White House Blog Fail

One of the things I was looking forward to with the new administration at the Whitehouse.gov website was the integration of a blog. With all the promises and buzz about how President Obama has been the most tech savvy I though it would be interesting to follow the progress of our newly appointed President.

Unfortunately, the Whitehouse.gov blog’s RSS feed hasn’t changed since the inauguration. I thought it was odd that there were no updates, so I clicked through to the site and it appears the RSS feed isn’t working because there have been plenty of updates.

I thought perhaps it was due to there being three different feeds available on the site, but that’s not it either. I know some people could care less about the RSS feed, the same people would just visit the site. The major problem I see is they’re missing an opportunity in spreading the news. One of the powers of an RSS feed is in the syndication of the feed and sending any updates to all the RSS directories that help to spread the news.

I’m just dumbfounded that the RSS functionality has been overlooked … Is it just me, or does anyone else think they missed a vital step in the update when they changed the site over to the Obama camp?

Find Local Twitter Users With This Tip

My wife had mentioned how some local Twitter users started following her recently. She was curious as to how they found her.

This got me thinking about looking for other Tweeters in our local area, but the ‘find people’ link on Twitter doesn’t have a location filter. I then thought there would certainly be some third party tool that has been created. Sure enough, there’s a little app that uses the Adobe Air application called TwitterLocal (fitting name too ). This tool was ok for locating people who have Tweeted in the last 24hrs but it lacks any customization. There’s no way to adjust the refresh, and it would be nice to be able to add new followers from the app.

I then found you could also do a Google search using ‘site’ and ‘location’ filtering. Here’s an example search query …

site:twitter.com location boise

You can add your state after the city to be specific if you get results for cities in other states with the same name. Doing this search I was able to locate over 1600 Twitter users from Boise.

Then I remembered Twitter does have a search engine (scroll all the way to the bottom of Twitter.com) and once there you will find an advanced search link. There are so many cool search filters, but the one I wanted was the ‘Places’ filter where I can search near my city.

So there you have it, a few simple ways to find Twitter users near you.

Enjoy … Scott
