Everybody's already written about the new Google blog search tool - I'll give Dwight the finder's credit, since I saw it at his place first - so it's time I joined in. I like it a lot - it's fast, it gives me way more results than Technorati ever seems to (when it's not too busy to give me a result, that is), and, well, it's Google so I figure it'll stay around and continue to be useful. I've added a link to Google blog search results for this site on the sidebar under "Who Links Ya, Baby?" for future reference.

One amusing thing about this is that after the first page or so, there are some obvious spam sites in the results. Nothing that I recognize from my usual assortment of referral log spam, but at least now I can see a reason for someone to bother doing that, since those are links that may get inadvertently clicked by some unsuspecting soul. If they could add in an Exclude feature like IceRocket has, it'd well and truly be the bomb.
