Don&#8217;t they have a few PhD&#8217;s hanging out at Google? So, please explain these results as of 11:15 p.m. PST:</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.icerocket.com/search?q=http://www.informationweek.com/software/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=192300431">IceRocket, two links</a> to the InformationWeek article about Google&#8217;s new business service offerings.<br />
<a href="http://www.sphere.com/search?q=sphereit:http://www.informationweek.com/software/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=192300431">Sphere, 57 links</a><br />
<a href="http://www.ask.com/blogsearch?q=http://www.informationweek.com/software/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=192300431">Ask.com, 33 links</a><br />
<a href="http://www.technorati.com/search/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.informationweek.com%2Fsoftware%2FshowArticle.jhtml?sort=">Technorati, 9 links</a> (and their numbering is off)<br />
Google&#8217;s Blogsearch: <a href="http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?q=http://www.informationweek.com/software/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=192300431">zero links</a>. &lt;&lt;&#8211; Google, your blog search is an embarrassment. It&#8217;s at the top of TechMeme right now (if you click on the options on <a href="http://www.techmeme.com">TechMeme</a>, you can turn on a search bar where you can click on blog searches around the Web).</p>
<p>UPDATE: Yahoo went even further and <a href="http://newsblog.seo-pr.com/public/item/140017">just turned off its blog search altogether and says &#8220;it&#8217;s retooling.&#8221;</a></p>
