0.028: new site tool - search the blogs of emc employees

I've been experimenting with the Google Custom Search Engine, and I've come up with a CSE that searches across the corporate and personal blogs of several EMC employees. I've integrated it directly into my blog site (in the sidebar), or you can test-drive the non-integrated version here:

If you use Google Home Page, you can integrate this search using this button:

Currently, the search domain for this CSE includes posts and pages (but no links) from the following blogs:

Oracle Storage Guy (Jeff Browning)
the storage anarchist (Barry Burke)
Never Talk When You Can Nod (Andrew Chapman)
Andrew's Blog (Andrew Cohen)
Cornelia Davis' Weblog
Len's Blog (Len Devanna)
Info Muse (Brian Fitzgerald)
Dave Graham's Weblog
Chuck's Blog (Chuck Hollis)
A Journey in Social Media (Chuck Hollis)
dotConnector's Blog (Dr. Subramanian Kartik)
Mark's Blog (Mark Lewis)
Adventures in Corporate Education (Gina Minks)
No there there (Peter Quirk)
Polly Pearson's Blog
Craig's Musings (Craig Randall)
Dave Talks Shop (David Spencer)
Energy Matters (Dick Sullivan)
Information Playground (Steve Todd)
Storagezilla (Mark Twomey)
The Backup Blog (Scott Waterhouse) 
Virtual Geek (Chad Sakac)
 

Note that this search does NOT currently include the blogs of the following EMC subsidiaries and acquisitions. They each have their own well-established and topical social networking infrastructure. If you have interests in their products and markets, I encourage you to visit them directly.

Geniant
RSA: Speaking of Security
Planet VMware

If you are an EMC employee (or subsidiary) with your own blog and you'd like to be included (or removed), please drop me an email using the "email the anarchist" link in the sidebar. I'll update this page whenever I add or remove blogs to the search engine.

And I apologize in advance for the blogvertising - it's the price Google extracts for this custom search engine. Any revenues that I may collect from these adverts will be applied to the cost of running this blog site; excess will be donated to charity.

June'08 Update: EMC now list many employee blogs on the Community pages of EMC.com.

technorati tags: EMC blogs,EMC bloggers,EMC weblogs,EMC,EMC blog,EMC social media

Now if you could just figure out a way to put all the EMC bloggers into a single feed, I'd be set ;)

This is the Bloglines export of the RSS feeds for the blogs listed here. If you use BlogLines, you can import directly. You may be able to import into other readers, but that isn't tested.

[For everyone's convenience, I've stored this as a file on my blog at the above address. I'll try to remember to update it as new EMC bloggers come online.]
