Searching out our heroes
It's amazing what you find when you put CHARLTON into various search engines. This morning I did just that and came up with some interesting hits!
The number of times that our beloved show up is also variable. Yes, I know that unless you put Athletic too you will get hits for Mr Heston, Sir Bobby, Big Jack, a town in Massachusetts, and the like, but if you do add Athletic to the search you miss out on a large amount of the true (ie FC) hits.
The stats from this mornings search are as follows:
* AltaVista (17100000 links to Charlton)
* Ask Jeeves (2871000 results)
* Technorati (15189 results)
* Feedster (4354 results)
* Daypop (84 results)
* Bloogz (116 results)
* BlogDigger (2195 results)
* IceRocket (14877 results)
NB: Some of these engines only search blogs though you can configure most of them for news too.
I'm sure you guys use other search engines too, but I would hope that combing through all the above pages would just about cover everything, and it would certainly be a good long read!
