New Google Blog Search homepage announced
Google has made a new homepage for its Blog Search offering available.
The page organises the most recent blog posts on hot topics from around the web in clusters based on each story covered and places these in categories accessible on the left-hand side of the page.
Following a similar layout to Google News, users can expand listings by clicking on a green link to see all blog posts relating to a particular subject, as well as view a graph showing how often posts are made on a specific topic.
"Grouping [posts] in clusters lets you see the best posts on a story or get a variety of perspectives," Michael Cohen, product manager for Blog Search, noted on the Official Google blog.
"When you look within a cluster, you’ll find a collection of the most interesting and recent posts on the topic."
The page is currently only available in English but will soon be expanded to other languages, he added.
Global bloggers make a collective 900,000 posts a day, according to recent statistics published by blog rating site Technorati.
