I hope I didn't misspeak! For RPG designers (and fans) that should suffice. Cheers, Alexander Hey, Darcy,

You can get RSS feeds of many searches, like News and Blogs, but not the main Google search. I hope I didn’t misspeak! For RPG designers (and fans) that should suffice.

Cheers,
Alexander

That's an awesome idea! Now, how do I do it? Hi Alexander,
During the interview, you mentioned that Google searches can be tied to an RSS feed. That’s an awesome idea!

Now, how do I do it?

You've really hit your stride now. The Master Series is turning out to be just excellent and episodes I am likely to keep refering back to. Awesome, Clyde. You’ve really hit your stride now.

I´m catching up with your show after some time away from home. The Ron Edwards and Fred Hicks interviews were excellent, and the One-shot show was quite useful. The one about Social Contract I found a little boring. I think it´s not that hard a concept that it needs so much explaining and examples. Cheers!! Hey!

Come January 1st, though, it stops being free, *but* for every dollar you spend on AdWords, you get $10 of free CC processing. If you can figure out how much you're likely to spend in CC fees per month, divide that by ten and spend it on AdWords instead. A bargain! Official word: "If you're an AdWords advertiser, you will also be eligible for free credit card processing for some or all of your Google Checkout sales. For every $1 you spend on AdWords each month, you can process $10 in sales the following month for free through Google Checkout. This standard, non-promotional type of free transaction processing may be updated from time to time." As Clyde says, if you have any questions for me, ask!

I really didn't do much. Alexander took the outline I gave him and seamlessly addressed many of the things I would have asked about, but didn't need to. I've got to give him and Robert Bohl who made the original notes that I used to help me build my outline the Lion's share of credit.</p> Hey Rob,

It's good to hear a voice of google suggesting other uses for its apps. Sorry if these have already been mentioned in the cast, I half listen to your dulcet tones. Also, it's nice to hear a fellow Brit, even if his accent has started to wane... ;-) (j/k) Google Homepage (or iGoogle) is really useful for keeping track on all the RPG things going on. As a designer, if you can keep track of the buzz, then you can make better use of it. I have a tab on iGoogle with just roleplaying resources/RSS and the like. The other thing I find useful is Google notepad for when you have a brilliant idea and you just want to get it down. I used to use a little notebook but google notepad can be anywhere I am, which is super. A really useful case, Clyde, great work! A really superb one this.
