Google Blog Search homepage gets makeover

Web 2.0

02 October 2008

Google has launched a new gateway to its Blog Search service.

The homepage follows a similar format to the Google News front page and picks out the most recent blog posts on a variety of subjects.

Users can browse these by category or by expanding the list of posts on the main page to see what other blogs have said about a specific story.

A graph feature enables users to track the rate at which a particular story is picked up on by blogs over a certain period of time.

Michael Cohen, Blog Search product manager, wrote on the Official Google blog: "Grouping [posts] in clusters lets you see the best posts on a story or get a variety of perspectives."

The service will be made available in a number of non-English languages in the near future, he went on to add.

Figures from Technorati suggest that bloggers around the world upload almost one million new posts every day.ADNFCR-1093-ID-18808291-ADNFCR
