Blog that’s a Freebie Search Engine

As you’ve noticed, I love technology. Heidi does too & she does a great job of making it work. I tend to stand back & be amazed & that is the case with this!

This morning I saw Maria’s link to her blog, DigiFree, The Search Engine Her blog is a list of links to freebies & she has technology creating it for her.

Maria works with artificial intelligence & has put her skills to use helping digiscrappers. I always like to know how things work & she explains on her blog -

This blog is dynamically constructed by a computer program. You can think of it as an automated search engine for digital scrapbooking blogs. The program works by going through a list of blogs that I have found and it scans those blogs to identify (1) if they have been updated since I last looked and (2) if they contain any freebies. If both of these are true, then the system flags the blog entry as one that I might want to look at and lists it here. So I don’t have to do this myself. It also keeps a lookout for new blogs that are mentioned (but this is limited otherwise every blog in existence would eventually be listed here!

Dynamically means that it’s always changing & finding new ones.

And she puts stat’s up for those of us that love them!

• In total, 1020 digital freebie sites were analysed to create this post.
• I found 70 freebies in 62 blogs since the last post
  

I know that most of the ladies creating the lists are doing it by hand. So isn’t this cool? Thank you Maria for putting your skills to work to save digiscrappers time!
