Robin Good: If you are looking for a way to create RSS feeds from Google profile listings and Google+ searches, here is a working solution: Feed+ for Google Chrome.

 

Feed+ supports two different types of feeds:

 

a) Public user feeds: this turns all public messages of a selected user on Google Plus and turns it into an RSS feed. To create the feed, you either need to enter the profile ID which you find on the public profile page on Google+, or the full profile url.

 

b) Search results: this creates an RSS feed from a selected search term. It combines all public posts that include the search phrase.

(Alternative tool: Google Plus Feed)

Robin Good: Curation is often about searching, exploring and digging through tons of materials to find a perfect match, a complementary resource, a citation or quote that can help add more value and meaning to your "collection" or to your curated content.

 

Yet, many curators have not yet explored and mastered the tools available to them to make their search efforts even more effective. 

Thanks to Nancy Blachman and Jerry Peek who have put together a very useful guide to Google Search Operators.

 

Not that you can't find these on Google's own help pages (http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=136861 ), but  there is more information in this guide that can be quite useful including the syntax, the capabilities, and an example for each operator.

 

Very useful. 9/10
