Pachube - Feed Finder app

'Feed Finder' is a Pachube.app to help browse and find useful feeds. It's available at http://apps.pachube.com/feed_finder/ and this video shows how you might use it.

First you search for a term (for example 'electricity' or 'air quality'). Feed Finder will return all of the datastream tags that are associated with that search term (for example "watts", "power", etc. for the search term 'electricity'; and "PM10" in the case of 'air quality'). Size indicates how popular a tag each one is.

Second, select one of those tags and all the feeds that contain that tag (and the search query) will appear along with the graph of that datastream. Hover over any graph and you will see the description of that feed. Click "ascending" or "descending" to reorder the feed datastreams by value.

Finally, click on any feed graph and you will be taken straight to the feed page. You can then, as always, choose the graph that interests you, configure it (for 'last 24 hours', 'last 4 days' or 'last 3 months', etc.), add a grid, axes, label and title and copy the URL for embedding in your own website.
