Blogs? Search Me

Given the increasingly central role that blogs play in online life, it's curious that the blog search world is so primitive. Certainly, there's good old Technorati, but everyone knows that this continues to have growing pains. Google's blog search is a joke - and an ugly one - and the other attempts aren't much better.

So it's good to see Bloglines, which has become an indispensable part of my daily online addiction/work, come out with its own search capability. It's too early to tell how it will shape up, but competition is good. Are you listening, Dave?
