   Google launches blog search

   So the blackout in Los Angeles recently took down my hosting provider, so I was without email for a bit and had no access to post to my blog for a bit too. All’s well now it seems. The big news today is that Google has launched a beta blog…

    Competition is good for everyone, especially those who get competed with.

    A little over a month ago, I changed my URL from ridingsun.blogspot.com to http://www.ridingsun.com. But Technorati won’t let me “claim” the new URL. It says it’s not claimable.
    I emailed tech support about the problem and got no response at all. It’s been several weeks now.
    If you want to compete with Google, better user support wouldn’t be a bad place to start.

    It doesn’t make a good impression when Google Blog Search only indexed my blog up till 26 May 2005!
    Rock on Dave, Technorati is way better that Google’s service – at this point. But I’m feeling a bit biased right now

    Google Blog Search the First 12 Hours!

    I am sure this morning as Technorati, Pubsub and Feedster staff came to work their was a sense of, oh…

    Technorati’s Psychic Search

    Background: Google Blog Search, Technorati’s Dave Sifry welcomes Google, blah blah blah.
    I guess I was drawn to the mis-spelled tag, gratutude. Click that link which brings up its Technorati tag page. Even though Dave’s entry welcoming Google says, …

    Ban investment for DFJ… I guess it will be a good lesson for Stavropoulos – this game is not a cool version of McKinsey, it actually requires some creativity and IQ

    Dave. the 800 lbs gorilla just stepped in. he has more money, brainpower, resources and experience than you and all the other search player combined. Good luck. Sincerely.

    『あっぱれ　-Welcometotheparty!』

    GoogleのBlogSearch参入を喜んで迎え撃つTechnoratiのDaveSifryのコメント。あっぱれでいいですね。そもそもブログの認知がまだ低いので、より賑やかになっていいのでしょうね。

    Google is stepping in your field, and yes it is a 800 lbs gorilla. You have some time in front of you. Go ahead and make the next moves :
    (1)Build a Technorati-blogLiveNews à la news.google.com. (
    2)You have to step in their field : be more laymen-friendly
    (3)Seek for content delivery accelerator services like Akamai.com or whatever
    (4) Make me having a technorati tatoo on my blog to act as an signal to provide extra feature (like automatic trackback from my blogroll buddy; a T-Ranking; …)
    You know you have nothing to lose : computer industry is full of second-player-is-the-final-winner. It appends you’re the number one.
    Good Luck!

    I really like Technorati, the quality of your searches, the tag system, everything. That’s still better than the Google Blog Search at the time being. You know why I really seldom used it? It was way too slow. Keep it as fast as it is right now! You can keep your customers and extend the customer base if a search doesn’t take over 5 seconds…

    Google’s Blog Search looks like familiar Google. Technorati has always looked foreign and run too slowly for me to feel compelled to learn what the point of a tag system is.

    Rands on Del.icio.us, Digg, and Technorati

    That search gives a 500 Server Error for me right now – although I’m sure that it is probably a temporary glitch.
