Google Uses RSS / Atom Feeds To Index Webpages

Google announced yesterday that it’s using RSS / ATOM Feeds to index new webpages. Clever move! Instead of waiting to crawl an already indexed webpage with a link to new content, google is using the same rss / atom feeds we all use to notify our readers of new content to index that new content. What does this mean?

  1. Google will index new content faster.
  2. It will be easier for webmasters to index new webpages in Google.

Twitter is all about live search. And Google is fighting to keep it’s search monopoly.
