The Google blog search enables users to look up blogs by subject. Google will compete with speciality blog search engines like Technorati, Feedster and Ice Rocket. According to Intelliseek, 20,000 blogs are created every day – that’s an awful lot of crapping on. As a test product, the Google blog search does not carry any advertising but it’s surely only a matter of time before the search engine becomes yet another revenue stream. It’s also not quite up to speed – a search on ’shoes’ fails to pick up the legendary shoe blog, Manolo’s.
