Actually, even the old Google Blog search offered RSS feeds. :-)

Google Blog search doesn't offer any support for monitoring comments in blog posts, Trackur does offer that functionality. It's not perfect, but it works.

Keep in mind that Google can only monitor Google indexes, Trackur monitors a broader scope of the web, offers powerful filters, CSV export, alerts, and much more.

Thanks for the question.

While Trackur does often pick up blog comments and forum discussions, it's not officially supported. We're working to improve that area, but you might find that Trackur does a good enough job already.

Andy Beal replied on July 09, 2008 01:00 to the discussion "Why should I use Trackur when Google Alerts is free?" in Trackur:

Google Alerts only monitors content available through one of Google's search engines. Trackur monitors many more web channels than just Google. In addition, Trackur allows you to save items, sort them, share them via email, and subscribe to an RSS feed--Google Alerts offers none of these features.

In fact, Trackur has been called "Google Alerts on Steroids!"

Okay, that means someting is *really* fucked up on our end if you got that. Let me run that code through a fine tooth come to find causes.

Do you by any chance have javascript disabled?

Andy Beal replied on July 08, 2008 20:53 to the problem "Not satisfied with 500 error" in Get Satisfaction:

@Scott - yes, I posted shortly after the error. It wasn't a pretty error. A white page with a 500 internal server error in black text.

Hmm... I'm not seeing any un-caught errors in our logs from around the time you posted this topic. Did you post this topic directly after hitting the bug, or did you delay for some time?

When you say 500 error page, do you mean the "Oops, something broke" page with the normal get satisfaction header on it, or was it a blank white screen for a red bordered box on it?

I'm checking out the error logs right now, I'll report back when I have more info.

I'll make sure this doesn't happen to the next person.

Sorry to hear this. Sometimes that happens when an apostrophe or other odd character is in the URL. We've seen that problem here: http://getsatisfaction.com/satisfacti...

But, it sounds like that is not the case with you, as I don't see any other characters in your name that would create such an error. I went ahead and added your company. You can claim it here: http://getsatisfaction.com/trackur/claim

Feel free to change any of the details I added, and let me know if you need any help!
