search chalked weblogs

I had a proof-of-concept blogchalking search engine built last month using the Google API, talked about it with Daniel but it never went further and I abandoned that search engine.
Nice to see that Brian St Pierre had a similar idea, this time search chalked weblogs from a little database of certified chalked blogs instead of searching on Google. This is pretty efficient, but seems to return less or different results than Googling: for example, googling for “blogchalk France returns 2 weblogs which are not the 2 weblogs that Brian’s search returned.
Actually, this made me realise the French webloggers (those who blog in French, that is) seem not to be aware of blogchalking. Some evangelisation work’s there to do on this front.

  3. J’ai du mal avec le français, il m’a quand même fallu une demie journée pour finalement comprendre que masque=skin dans ce contexte !
    La variable {$BlogChalk$} c’est pas mal comme idée ;)
