Google Blog Search

ByChip Griffin

As expected, Google has entered the blog search game.  Try it here.

Note that it is not truly a blog search function, but a feed search tool.  If a blog publishes only excerpts, Google will only search the excerpt.  Also, it does not search comments or other material on blog sites.  And it only covers posts dating back to June of this year.

Basically, it is more of a feed monitoring tool than true blog search.  As time goes by and more feeds have been indexed, it will become more of a real search tool because the amount of available data will exceed missing historical data.  (More at the Google FAQ for Blog Search.)

  • Truly Local Content

He also notes that "any successful local play has to be a hybrid of original content and aggregation." (which the Earthlink product is not) Mike’s right.  The aggregation can help jumpstart the community with consumer generated…

  • What the heck is a blook?

    According to Tom Evslin, it is a book published in blog format.  But it is more than just a simple format change: Evslin has written a novel, Hackoff.com, that makes the entire blog experience, including comments, an integral part of the content, according to Fred Wilson. Unfortunately, the site seems to be down right now,…
