Blogosphere Search

The Pew Internet study of 2004 estimates that about 11%, or about 50 million, of Internet users are regular blog readers. What is a Blog? Blog stands for Weblog which is a Web site that contains dated entries in reverse chronological order about a particular topic on which most recent posted entry displayed first. As Technorati puts it:
The power of weblogs is that they allow millions of people to easily publish their ideas, and millions more to comment on them. Blogs are a fluid, dynamic medium, more akin to a 'conversation' than to a library
Every day, new Blog sites are being created, conversations are being posted onto these new and existing Blogs - thoughts, ideas, news, conversations, discussions, comments, etc. The universe of Blog is called blogosphere. Technorati is a real-time search engine that keeps track of what is going on within this blogosphere which continue to grow at a quickening pace as of early 2006.

Keeca selects Technorati as our preferred search engine in the Blogosphere domain. Particularly, Technorati's 'Watchlist' let you predefine keyword(s) of your interests, so you can easily access your watchlists and see the conversations related to the topics you set up. Another useful tool is the authority bar on every blog search result page. You can simply adjust the authority bar to filter out Blog sites with less authority.

To try the Blog Search engine selected by Keeca.com, go to Keeca Web, click on the Blogosphere link under Editor's Choice on the left.
