the popurls blog

although popurls looks deliberately simple at first glance, there are quite a few handy features that i’d like to point out once in a while with a series of 101 posts.

• i receive a lot of emails from users who read an interesting story the other day but forgot to bookmark the url. popurls archive to the rescue – a daily snapshot to catch up on the news in the unlikely event that you missed a day of popurls or just lost the link to that flickr photo.
• popurls search is not only the fastest buzz index next to twitter but it also offers you a neat way to track certain keywords in near real-time by subscribing to the feed url that you’ll get for each query on the results page.
• the quickies section on the bottom of the page is still one of the most frequented parts of popurls, but unlike its name there’s also a widely unknown feature to view additional stories from a site by simply clicking its name which opens the respective headline box.

thanks for taking the time!
