Anyone Have Blog Tracking Tricks?
Do any of you have any "tricks" on watching blogs or threads here in IB that you've contributed to, other than the hunt & return method? I only ask because I don't tend to have the time I'd prefer to hang around & cruise through the different topics.
Any help would be appreciated, and I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering from information retrieval.
UPDATE: Well, I tried my hand at creating a custom feed scrape of the main blog page using the Feed43 service as seen here, but for obvious reasons I ran into some issues for new blogs without comments. When all items on the main page have existing comments, the feed comes across quite nicely.
However, that still doesn't solve the issue at hand, and even using a combination of the Feed43 service tied into the custom IB Google Search page put together by whoisgregg, it still yielded some unwelcome results since Google doesn't appear to search ALL updated blogs. Meaning, some of my recent comments in old blogs didn't appear. If anyone would like to see what I attempted though, let me know in my box, and I'll gladly share the Feed43 specs.
Good luck!

other than simply bookmarking the page? nope.

Yeah, I was hoping someone had a trusty "trick". Hmmm.

Huh, so I take it that the IB Blog Forum doesn't have a topic-notification system then?

@SysOp: Nope... but since I'm gathering that there isn't one, I'm trying to see if I can create a feed from the XML of the page. Let's see what the next few minutes return.

Bump... thought I would see if anyone else had some insights to contribute.
