I remember the rat (Technorati)<p>Back then I ran 4 or 5 blogs and maybe 20,000 splogs (spam blogs) and I could never get the rat to index my blogs but it seemed it would always index my splogs.<p>The absence of vertical specific search engines is a major feature of the 2016 web. Is there some scorched earth policy that suppresses them? (You&#x27;ll never get an acqui-hire in this town?)

Interesting: The article understates the persistence and power of RSS and omits subscription as a category. The article is still great of course!
