If you write on role-playing games and how you dress up to play Dungeons 'n Dragons on the weekends, I'm deleting you from both my blogrolle and RSS reader subscription list.

The plugin referenced by Chris Pearson no longer works and google always responds with "Unsupported file format
Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit".

Re: Another Google vs. Live search

Finding individual cases where Google is better than Live.com doesn't really provide a strong argument that Google is universally better.

Myself, along with countless others, could give the real example of when I search on my fullname, Live search actually comes back with more results that are more relevant. But is that a good argument?

The majority of support for google and arguments against Live.com I feel are unfair and assumes that there is no innovation or change happening on Live search. They formed an opinion awhile ago (e.g. over a year) and now do surgical searches to re-inforce their belief that Live search sucks. When they do find a query where Live search performs better, it's discounted for some one reason or another.

I haven't used Google search in quite a few months (in favor of Live search) and frequently go to Google to do comparion search and normally don't find that google outperforms Live search. Sure, results are sorted differently, but not so much that I'm cursing Live search for being incompetent.

I'm not saying the Google or Live Search is universally better. I'm just saying the difference isn't as great as people continue to claim.

Great idea, and just submitted a Flickr set.
