Doc Searls: I just did a search for a rare blood disease on Google and it corrected my spelling. I'm not sucking up when I say that rocks.

Since google's dictionary is based on words usage on the web, it can also correct a lot of mispelled names (well... at least bloggers' names )

It's a very experimental and totally manual aggregator (meaning that you have to visit a page to notify each post) but I must say that the Italian version has so far been very successful and useful.

In some way it proves that if there is a good motivation (in this case visibility and participating to an interesting community), people do add useful metadata to their posts.

What is now totally manual will soon become automagic using ENT and a topicroll for Radio and Movable Type users. You can also subscribe to the RSS summary feed.

Technorati is by far the most valuable blogging tool I have found so far. I wish I'll find some time to play with the new API soon.
