Information overload! Whenever I think about the vast amounts of information that are now available on blogs, my immediate reaction is: Do I really want to know all this, or even just know that all of this is out there.
I also wonder what prompts people to invest so much time in writing up their blogs, but it seems to be a modern version of the serial letters that I write to my friends every year during the holidays.
Of the search engines we looked at in Thing#3 I liked Sphere the best. It is nice to be able to get the latest news on a given topic. Sphere offered a Widget that would connect one to the latest news in a chosen field of interest which I found very interesting. Except the link did not work. I will try again...
Blogsscope was not very interesting to me, because it is unimportant for my limited purposes to know which keywords get the most interest. For any kind of marketing research this would probably be very interesting.
Blog.Ask.com was more interesting because it organized the information.
Technorati fell into the category of information overload - similar to a Google search.

Just in case you haven't worked it out most bloggers want to share and be paid for it, hence google's adsense support for bloggers.
