Google Blog Search
I was reading about Google’s Latest Blog Search., and I am in love with it :) just because of the fact that when I search for “Jordan” it gives Jordan Planet as the First in the “Related Blogs” not some Michael Jordan or other female star fan site. As well when I searched for “Amman” one of the first results was Ahmad’s Post about GPSing Amman. Now this is a search that can give real relative results.
What’s cooler is that it provides a feed (RSS/ATOM) for the search results, making it possible to track posts about certains terms of interst to you. Although this is not the first blog searching service around, as there us Technorati, Feedster but both fail my exam of searching for “Jordan” as none of the results are related to any blogger in Jordan. So I guess that Google are doing a better job although they came late into blog searching game.

I went nuts earlier this year playing around with those search engine, I have done it for so long to the point where I even wrote a piece about it and called it search engines and me. What I was basically doing is that I would go to any search engine appearing on google and I would type my name to see how many returns I would get. The results were amazing and they were never the same, some of them were yielding higher than others, and some were close, while others were much lower. I still don’t understand how these search engines do their business, I’m glad though that most of them recognize or I should say acknowledge that I’m a blogger and that is what really concerns me the most. Once upon a time I was dreaming about becoming a world renowned Journalist, and when that dream went astray I’ve now become content with becoming a blogger, which is very close to being a Journalist although not close enough by any internationally recognized standards.
