Google Blog Search Redesigns as Meme Tracker

Google Blog Search has redesigned and added meme trackers like Techmeme and Megite on the front pages of several categories and the homepage itself.

I've shared a screenshot and you can see how the blog posts are separated by story along with how popular they are. This allows for easy scanning, which is useful if you're looking for blogs talking about a hot topic.

Well done to Google for finally tweaking what is arguably their weakest product.

One of the biggest problem I have with Google Blog is the inclusion of so much Forum contents. One quick search in the supposedly new version and there is still no shortage of forum contents in the results set.

I don't know about you, but when I search for blog articles in a blog search engine,I don't expect forum postings in the results.

That looks like a great feature...
