Google’s Blogsearch and Technorati are great sites for focused reading about a particular subject.
Doing a Google search is entirely different from doing a search on blog search. Google’s Blogsearch and Technorati will both bring you back all posts on blogs and niche sites that have been tagged with, or contain, the keyword that you are searching for.
So, if I wanted to know what’s new about Adsense, I wouldn’t do a Google search, but a Blogsearch for the word ‘Adsense’, or a Technorati blog search, or even a Technorati tag search – so I’ll know what’s the latest and greatest, and who’s saying what in reference to Adsense.
On the flip side, as a blogger, to automatically ping Google’s blogsearch every time you “post” to your blog, add this URL to your blog’s ping list.
