Feedster Developing New Citations Feature

Posted on December 30, 2005

Feedster is working on something new for citations that will be out in January, 2006. When you try to track citations like the inbound links to this blog Feedster gives you the following result:

Oops!
Our Chief Scientist is bringing you something new in January!
In an effort to provide the best services possible, Feedster is currently involved in upgrading the programming for this feature. As a result this feature is temporarily unavailable.
If you would like to be alerted when this feature is resumed, please leave your email address and we will contact you when service is once again available.

Feedster's Chief Scientist is Francois Schiettecatte according to the corporate team page which was recently updated on December 28, 2005. Feedster might be adding profiles like Technorati or some other more advanced citations feature. They could also just be trying the increase the accuracy and speed of the citations results -- but the wording "something new" and the exclamation mark suggests otherwise.
