My until now semi-private project āPlanet Pingā just got a whole better and is now called āPlanet Switzerlandā and got a new domain too (http://planet.blogug.ch).
One of the main new feature is the āMore Infoā link on each post, which tells you some (hopefully) interesting information about that post and blog like āwho linked to this postā, āwho linked to this blog in generalā, Feed link, Tags from list.blogug.ch, Top100 rank, when was the last post and the screenshot from Alain's gallery.
The linking info is only taken from blogs which are in our DB and which have links in their RSS feed, meaning, if a site not listed on list.blogug.ch links to you, it won't show up here. Therefore it may neither be complete nor going back far in history.
To be buzzword compatible, the āmore infoā part is requested on demand with some AJAX technology (actually it's more AHAH), basically to ease the load from the server and to prevent a lot of unnecessary DB requests.
I also added some search options to it. Here are some examples:
Fulltext search in content and title: /search/bitflux (we use the MySQL boolean fulltext search for that, so you can use all those parameters here, but forget about the relevancy stuff, we order the output by date always)
Search all posts from a site/blog: /search/site:blog.bitflux.ch
Search all posts, which link to a site/blog: /search/link:blog.bitflux.ch
Search all posts, which link to an entry: /search/linkex:www.sequenz.ch/blog/archive/[ā¦]bloggertreffen-2.html
Search all posts with āsomethingā in the entry link: /search/inurl:klum
Search all posts with a certain tag: /tag/bloggertreffen
Search all posts with two tags: /tag/bloggertreffen+zurich
Search all posts with an exact tag: /tag/!politik
The last one is needed, since I introduced taggroups (that's what usually is displayed in the right column). āpolitikā and āpoliticsā build the taggroup āpoliticsā, so if you search for /tag/politik or /tag/politics all posts tagged as āpoliticsā or āpolitikā are displayed (with both queries). But if you search for /tag/!politik really only posts with āpolitikā are shown and not those with āpoliticsā.
By the way, search parameters are not combinable, somethign like āsite:blog.bitflux.ch phpā won't work. Maybe laterā¦
All the output is also available as Atom or RSS feed, just prepend the URL with /atom/ or /rss/, eg: /atom/search/link:blog.bitflux.ch
The design isn't the ultimate thing as of now (especially not on IE), that should change some day in the future. We have gotten a nice theme for blogug by Sis and I'll hopefully be able to use thatā¦
