Google joins blog search

Google launches blog search tool from Inforworld...

To give the engine a test lap, I plugged in my own name, since I both blog and write news stories for InfoWorld. The returns were pretty reasonable, until the second page of results when I came upon a news story that we posted on August 29, 2005. True, it had my byline on it, but the article was not a blog. I kept sorting through
the results and all was well until page 6, and then they became less relevant, though I did not come across any more news stories or non-blog items.

I gave up on page 8. But in any given search I rarely make it even that far. Bearing that in mind, and considering I encountered only one misplaced search result, I'd say that bodes well for Google's ability to narrow its search to blogs -- which is ultimately what will make or break this tool.

I'm not surprised, I've noticed for the last few months that google has been picking my tags. categories, and posts.
