New Blog Search at Hand: Sphere

May 1, 2006 11:59 pm / Leave a Comment / Pat McCarthy

New blog search engine Sphere has launched.  Techcrunch has a good quick review, and in my initial run-through I agree with their thoughts.  It’s a very clean design, I like the look and it’s clear what actions you can take.

I still wonder though, do we need another blog search engine?  I suppose the blog search offered by the big players isn’t that great, and many people still think Technorati’s search isn’t very good.  Perhaps Sphere will make those people happy.  But is the general public that interested in searching blogs only to really allow a blog search engine to take off?

I feel like blog search engines will really only be used by bloggers and specialty researchers who are looking for commentary on a subject.  The general internet public is just going to expect Google to find everything for them no matter if it’s a blog, web page, or some other type of file.

Either way, it looks like Sphere is a solid entry in the blog search engine race, it’ll be interesting to see if I ever intentionally use it.
