Google Blog Search

By one account, there are over fifty-five million blogs. Some are updated once every six months, others are updated every six minutes. The immense amount of information contained in these publications would be nearly impossible to manage without some kind of help.

One of the best tools available to blog readers is Google Blog Search.

Although Google does offer a blog service through Blogger, their blog search feature is not limited only to Blogger sites. Almost any blog can notify Google of an update, which makes it possible to keep search results up to date using the most efficient blog publication technologies, like Atom and RSS.

One of the best features of Google's Blog Search is its speed of updates. Since blogs often update much faster than the web as a whole, it is necessary for blog searches to be "up-to-date" more often. Google also provides custom search types for blogs which make use of information unique to the blog format.
