Blogsearch.Google.com - Google Blog Search

Not to be upstaged by the more recent memetrackers developed by its competitors, Google has just released its very own blog search engine. As you probably know, a memetracker is a tool which enables anybody to study the migration of memes as regards a given group of people.

It is a concept which is usually tied to websites that allow internauts to vote for links to web pages that they come across and like, and (most notably) sites that analyze blog posts to find out what web pages generate the most online interest. As such, memetrackers stand as one of the best ways to detect up-and-coming trends on the Net.



As far as this specific blog search is concerned, it features a list of stories of note regarding entertainment, business, politics and more. An “Advanced blog search” feature is likewise provided, and it can take into account aspects like exact-word-matching in the post title and so forth.

Whether this search tool will consolidate itself remains moot, but it is not too far-fetched to venture that if they manage to apply the level of searching and tracking evidenced in related technology such as Google News this new initiative might arouse quite a bit of interest among the online community.
