I was surprised by how much your system accomplishes in just a few steps. I love how it pulls in content from all my online spaces and makes it searchable and available from this one little box I can put anywhere. Really, really nice.
There are definitely some approaches you use on Lijit that we may want to incorporate in our own Web site.
My main page has a whole set of links to other profile pages of mine (e.g. LinkedIn, Twitter, etc). Lijit views them all as part of my blogroll. What I'd suggest is that you parse the linked-to page for any incidence of the linking url and see if there's a rel="me" in the anchor tag. If there is, you can infer that this is a profile page of mine rather than a third-party blog.
What's cool about this is you'd be embodying Brad Fitzpatrick's concept of the portable social network. You've already recognized the hidden value in these links and the content behind them, now you can add on a layer of smarts about what they are.
The tag cloud of popular searches under my Lijit wijit shows a few terms that I don't want the whole world to see. Is there any way to filter some of these terms so that I don't have to see them anymore?
I'm using Typepad as my blogging platform and have an advanced (or mixed media) template. After signing up for a Lijit account, I was given the code to install the wijit but can't figure out where to put it. Help!
After checking my Lijit stats, I see numbers for the total number of Re-Searches and my top
Re-Search term. I'm confused and don't know what Re-Search is or what it does. What exactly is the Re-Search feature?
