Although dogs are more well-known for fetching and retrieving things, BlogGoat shows that goats can as well (at least when the object in mind is blog information). The website is a search engine for blogs. Users simply enter in a search term, and click the button; results can then be separated by date or relevance. The blogs that form the search results are truly “underground”- you will be hard-pressed to find any with Alexa Rankings or a marketed name. In the top right hand corner, BlogGoat shows a trend graph of the topic; in other words, how much “buzz” the blogosphere has been giving a specific subject over a specific period of time.
“BlogGoat is a new blog search engine created by a very creative and young entrepreneur. Our sister site is the Swedish blog search engine Bloggz.”
BlogGoat is a simple alternative to Technorati. While it doesn’t display the results from top-tier blogs, therein lies its beauty- it displays results that are often neglected or buried when doing traditional topic or blog searches.
What specific blogs does the site search? Using very specific keywords, it didn’t turn up my own Wordpress blog (in fact, it only wielded very obscure, off-topic results).
