Is Google Using Several Algorithms at the Same Time?
Story Text:
Im no fan of sifting through data centers looking for keys to what Google might be up to, but I know it's a sport many play. I say sport, becuase surely that's all it can be? I just can't find any reasonable reason to spend time on such stuff...
this tool is kind of neat, though checking 17 data centers is always going to create a UI problem and this one is as kludgy as any i've seen. What i think would be really useful, for those that like to play this game, would be a firefox extention to open up all the DC's in tabs with your query - ie: enter your query in the extentions text box and it pops open all the relevant sites in tabs.
Does such a thing already exist?

- Y! MyWeb
Data Center Tool
I use this one http://www.mcdar.net/dance/index.php
the only tools I know of are downloadable software you buy, hindered by the interface, or only track one site and keyword at a time.
Tooting my own horn
Hate to point to my own stuff, but this one - link does it too. Sadly, the queue is long since the tools are getting popular.
IMHO your probably best off not promoting it at the moment if the wait time for rank checking is 11 minutes.
Randfish that is a really nice tool
Yup...
...and the queue really adds to it. Leave it on even if you don't need it. Makes the tool feel exclusive and leet. Cool.
Also like the fact that it doesn't look like any other tool.
the output of the seomoz tool is pretty cool.
just the 11 minute thing scared me. actually went quicker when I tried it.

Well if you know you are going to drop out of google you have a few days advance notice to fire everybody :)
