Techmeme Search hits the web site

In the “about time” department, Techmeme announces that they now have a search capability locally on site. This is good, bit late, but better late than never. Gabe Rivera posted on the techmeme blog today some cool information about the feature, this one caught our attention.

What’s next? Search for Techmeme’s sister sites are planned but not active as of today. Also on the way are RSS feeds for search results, the simplest kind of search “API”. Source: Techmeme

So if I want, and many folks I know are going to do this right off the bat when the Search RSS goes live is sit there like a voyeur and watch what other people search for on techmeme, not only to help us figure out what is important this moment, but using some neat programming, make a flex based feed, mapping, and just about any other kind of “twitterish” process as techmeme search helps other folks figure out what is important this moment.

This could be interesting, can we have the RSS feed now, or should we just hang out for 36 months waiting for that feature set? (This is problem, you give someone something, then they always want more, never should have posted “what’s next”).
