Why Thing 4 Part 2 Angers Me

I tried using Google's blog search beta and boy did it get my dander up. Most of what it showed me weren't "blogs" at all. They were one shot articles that would not have feeds updating them, unless you call a random comment by someone a worthy update.

  1. I must admit that I agree. When I used the Google Blog Search, it didn't really yield anything useful.

  2. I have to agree with both of you. There are some alternate search tools for blogs I have tried in the past - some better than others - it really depends on what type of blog you are searching for.

    Here are a few options:
    technorati.com
    www.blogdigger.com
    www.icerocket.com
    www.blogged.com/

    For education specific blogs, take a look at the ideas in this blog post:
