I'm looking for an API, or a solution, to find blog posts on the web.
I have few keywords passed by a user (like "fashion hats") and I want to get a list of blog posts that match it.
Importants is the freshness of the post and the relevancy of the source.
Is anything already out there?
Thanks a lot

It's hard to select for date and for relevance at the same time. Here's how you do it with blekko:
https://blekko.com/ws/hats+/fashion+/blog+/daterange=%221+month+ago-now%22
This shows, sorted by relevance, the search string [hats] limited to the human-curated slashtag /fashion, reduced by the algorithmic slashtag /blogs, within the last month.
Alternately, you can sort by date instead of relevance:
https://blekko.com/ws/hats+/fashion+/blog+/date=%221+month+ago-now%22
Our free API can be used to fetch these results -- contact us at apiauth#blekko.com for details.
I'd point you at some interesting URLs that list the good human-curated slashtags and clues about other advanced slasthag usage, but Stack Overflow's reputation system says I'm too much of a n00b to do so.

I know of at least two: 1) yahoo boss which costs .10 per thousand results, and blekko also has an api that can search blogs. You'll need to inquire about the specifics directly with blekko at apiauth#blekko.com.

I have to schedule a conference, there is 6 class everyday and more than 10 lecturer,for 14days. some lecturer are available some days, some are not, some prefer some specific day or classess and some days they are off
i googled it so much but couldn't find good material to learn about it.
i want to learn it ground up, it means if i need to learn constrain programming it's okey for me, because i don't have any background about it.
i'm looking for learning material, book and any suggestion about this. someplace in stackoverflow i read genetic algorithm it's good for it but no one was sure about it.
because it's one of the most easy topic that i have to face, and i will face more hard solution in future, i have to learn from basic, new task from my manager and i have to face it.
i appreciate if you suggest any book, site, paper and sources to learn or share with me
OptaPlanner (open source, Java) is used for conference and course scheduling. The download contains the code of a complete course scheduling example called "curriculum course", which is also documented in the reference manual.

How to write script for posting your geo location to a website? [closed]

You see it everywhere these days...
Facebook will display your geo location along with your status update. "John Doe says this...near Austin, Tx"
In Google maps you can click the "round dot" and it will show you where you are geographically and allow you to create your direction around that.
What's the coding behind it? I'd like to start implementing this into a few things (more so how facebook does it). Does anyone have an idea? I'm guessing a combo between php, javascript, Database (ajax) and perhaps a "GEO api" of some sorts... Along with w/ some good ol' fashion html/css.
Am I on the right thinking path here?
It's the Geolocation API . Have a look here: http://html5doctor.com/finding-your-position-with-geolocation/

Are there any immediate benefits of implementing semantic web features in a website - and does google really pay attention to rdf markup?
I have read on and off over the last couple of years but nothing major appears to be happening.
Are there any immediate benefits of implementing semantic web features in a website
There are already a few success stories of the Semantic Web.
does google really pay attention to rdf markup?
Take a look at what Google says about RDFa and how it produces rich snippets out of that.
Currently the biggest incentive IMHO is:
"Search engines including Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex rely on this markup to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages." -- http://schema.org/
More people/eyeballs, more traffic => more subscriptions/products sold/advertisement money.
You said: "nothing major appears to be happening". I disagree, right now schema.org is something major happening.

please bear in mind, I am doing this as a hobby
I currently have created a page in VB.Net and brought that page into a FB app and now showing that in one of my pages on there.
Currently it shows everything to all users, but I would like to only show the intro to non-fans and everything else to fans. I did find an app but the items I am showing are dynamic from my own website.
So that's number 1, 2 is, when they are fans, collect data from them, such as name and email address and profile picture.
I found the C# SDK, but way above my head right now.
I tend to work really well with full sample examples, so if you have come across any, it would be appreciated.
Regards
Mark cooney you can browse the github for code examples and api's https://github.com/facebook i do not know any my self that support vb.net.

RoR - How To Count & Display Comments [closed]

I'm looking to have a count of the number of comments left under an article and display it on the index page beside that particular article - like the example here in red circles. Any suggestions as to how I might do this?
The picture is an example of what I'm trying to do, its not my site.
This sounds like a good candidate for Rails.cache. Every time you create a new comment simply increment that cache counter using the post id.
If the cache entry does not exist, do a simple article.comments.count (depends on your domain model of course) query and re-cache it.
Storing it in a cache is one idea, yes.
But storing it in a counter_cache column is probably a better idea. That way even if your server was restarted somehow you wouldn't loose the cached values. See http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html, section 4.1.2.4.
