Persistent Search to RSS Module (Needed)
Step 1 Afridex component for brand tracking and reputation monitoring using Company Name, Tags, and Profile data as keywords.
This needs to use the company name and the related tags to search various blogs, search engines and websites for mentions of the company.
Step 2 Needs to pre-load server-side so that it doesn't slow down the loading of the page.
Step 3 Searching for keywords and dates to determine priority and relevancy.
Sites to Query
Bloglines, Findory, Google Blog Search, Google News, search.twitter.com, IceRocket, MSFT Live News, Technorati, and Yahoo! News
Technologies to Consider
Yahoo's BOSS API seems like a viable solution for programming a custom search engine with RSS output.
Text-Field Parsing Module (Needed)
Text-field areas need to be able to parse text and find entries from the 'contact' category in the existing database and link to their entries internally.
Internal Linking Module (Needed)
Building on Text-Field Parsing, this module would allow entries in select text-fields to become wiki-like hotlinks to create new profiles.
Comment Section (Needed)
Threaded comments and @replies
hCards Module (Completed)
Automatically populate hCards with data from profile entries and generate vCards for download. - Completed by Moses and Jon
Cross-Browser Copy to Clipboard Module (Needed)
jQuery or Ajax 'copy to clipboard' for xHTML embed code.
