Google Blog Search is fast

Like almost everyone else in the blogosphere, I've tried the new Google Blog Search tool, released in beta yesterday.

My immediate impression from doing a half dozen searches at various times today is that it's fast! Much faster than, say, Technorati. Every search I did with Google Blog Search, the results were there in less than one second.

With my searches, it consistently turned up results that weren't in other search tools. Does that mean it's more accurate? Well, Technorati and Feedster both turned up some results that Google Blog Search didn't. So I'm as confused as I was before on how good any of these tools are.

I've resisted reading any detailed reviews or commentaries yet until I've taken a good look myself. But I am paying attention to Steve Rubel's experiment.

Charlene Li at Forrester Research has a good factual write-up.

I'm afraid Steve's test is ill-designed, that could only produce one result; see more here:

But then again, what else would you expect from Google? I say this as Google "Langue Tools" times out, hmmm.
