Sphere online

Another Blog search tool. This one has a different twist on Technorati, so check it out. I have had a play with it... From what I can tell it seems pretty good but I couldn't find any of my blog postings on there. So I submitted my blogs again and will have a look at it in a day or so.

New in this V1.5 release:

• custom range histogram;
• sphere it bookmarklet that makes it easy to find blog posts that relate to what you're reading on the Web;
• top queries this hour/ this week;
• RSS for search results;
• community feedback buttons throughout the site;
• expanded related media verticals including podcasts (Yahoo! API), books (Amazon API), and photos (CNET Webshots API);
• expanded related news articles coverage (over 50 mainstream news sites such as CNN, NYT, ESPN, Fox, USA Today to name a few);
• expanded profiles;
• featured blogs for 12,000+ keyword search terms covering over 500 broad topics including baseball, anime, food, web 2.0, tech news, knitting, culture, etc.; and
• a brand new back end that scales.

The best two featues are the custom range feature (a search on 'mohammed cartoons' really illustrates its utility) and the sphere it bookmarklet (take a chance, download and it'll change your life). Also, check out the featured blogs for a number of topics like baseball, food, knitting, motherhood, web 2.0, google, etc - you'll find featured blogs for about 12,000 keyword search terms. And check out the related media for almost any search - you'll now find podcasts, books and photo's in addition to our news articles.
