current king of the hill in blog search

in the continuing game of leapfrog that is weblog search technology - the one that is working best for me these days is blogdigger. what's different about them? who knows, but they seem to give the most up-to-date and correct search results.

we'll see who topples them next. it always seems like yahoo or google are one search parameter away from putting all these companies into a world of hurt, or of course identifying them as acquisition targets. we'll have to see how it plays out.

it amazes me how there are still a bunch of companies entering the search market trying to build the new new thing in search engines. snap.com (wonder how much NBC sold that URL for) and blinkx are two examples that come to mind of trying to do search in a much different way. (If Google Desktop intrigues you but you use Firefox, you should give blinx a try.)
