Brrreeeport report

February 14, 2006 By

Well, I gotta say, based on my little test Feedster is dead. It doesn’t report a single site back. Not good guys! (Update: Feedster reports its servers are being upgraded so can’t track new blogs at the moment).

Google’s blog search wins on sheer quantity (112 reported). At 10:28 a.m. pacific time. Note that Google’s blog search is DRAMATICALLY different than the main Google search engine. The main engine isn’t reporting any hits yet (neither does MSN or Yahoo). Yahoo’s main engine now is showing five results at 11:55 a.m. MSN and Google are still showing none.
Technorati is pretty good (97 reported). I like how Technorati looks, though, a lot better than Google and Technorati led last night in early returns.
IceRocket is reporting 66.

So, who has put the word brrreeeport on their blog but hasn’t shown up in Technorati or Google?

Update: Google lies. Er, stretches the truth again. Says “about 130 sites” but I count only 118. Technorati, on the other hand, is accurate and both says and reports 113 sites. So, Google isn’t ahead by many. Just makes you believe they are ahead.

    I’m showing up on Google and Technorati (technorati was first by about an hour) but still no IceRocket (or Feedster!).

    timthefoolman: I don’t see where you put brrreeeport on your blog.

    Mike: interesting. We’ll see how long it takes for you to show up. You’re using WordPress, right? Are you pinging any blog service?

    By the way, you should note that Google Blog search provides ESTIMATES on its first page of results. When I dug deeper, actually looking for the results, their totals went way down, and were right at the same numbers as Technorati’s.

    Scoble-

    As we blogged about yesterday, Feedster is currently enduring a series of upgrades. The current upgrade has limited the ability to have search results that reflect the most recent posts that are occurring in real time. I should have pinged you earlier when I saw that you started your “Brrreeeport” to let you know that we wouldn’t be able to participate and for that I apologize. I think what you are doing is great and I know that Feedster would love to participate in future comparison tests.

    In the end, you are giving smaller companies a larger voice and also showing that many times their results are far superior.

    I don’t show on the Technorati tags list, but I am there on regular search. This is actually quite typical: I often find my posts indexed minutes after the ping, which means they show up on regular Technorati search, but the tags are nowhere. A few hours later one or two tags show up, and it may take days before all tags are found. Go figure ….

    It didn’t show up on my site either (http://www.the-rodeo.com/?p=136).

    I posted it yesterday, no google or technorati love yet (although they have indexed every post up to the last one).

  • http://kevinmarks.wordpress.com/ kevinmarks

    Jackie, make sure you have your blog set up to ping Technorati. Typepad is not always set up for this by default. Instructions are here:

    Scoble, Google frowns on techniques like this to improve page rank of your *new* blog.

    Sorry, but thats a rule.

    Sorry to double post, but I just noticed something else that’s interesting. The other bits of the web are starting to join in as well. Google Adsense has entries defined for ‘brrreeeport’. Still nothing on Google Images or MSN Images yet (someones missing out there). And hardly anything at all on del.icio.us.

    Hahahaha Hahahahaha. Oh dear me, you people live in your little own worlds. (Trust me, as one who has had many REAL Drudge hits, this doesn’t rate a single microscopic iota). And hasn’t ANYONE noticed that the rats are leaving Technorati, like mad? Jason DeFillippo and Niall Kennedy, poof. Maybe that could account for the “results”? Everyone getting sick and tired of not being bought out?

    Do people really not know there is Yahoo! blog search?

    The Y! blog search for this exercise is http://blog.news.search.yahoo.com/blog/search?p=brrreeeport and it yields a respectable result – even if it’s considered to be in beta.
