(Continued) The RFS Newsletter, Sept. 17, 2005. Page 7
In news on Thursday, Google has launched a blog search feature from both its Blogger.com site and from a separate URL available that produces the same results. Google's new blog search results aren’t limited to just Blogger.com but rather attempt to search other blogs as well. Google said that its new beta blog search is available in eight languages other than English. Right now, results are separate from Google’s main search results, but I would expect the company will seek to integrate more blog search results into its main results over time.

Right now there are no ads that will appear on Google’s blog search results. However, clearly the door is open. Google now joins Technorati, Intelliseek’s new-and-improved BlogPulse, Ask’s Bloglines and others - Yahoo is testing blog search - in seeking to mine content from the mushrooming Blogosphere (add echo sound effect). Thus it would appear that blogs are indeed a new front in the so-called “search wars.” Technorati has said that the number of blogs is doubling every five months. comScore reports that 50 million U.S. Internet users visited blog sites in the first quarter of 2005, roughly 30 percent of all U.S. Internet users. BlogPulse identifies over 16 million blogs as of this morning.
