Sphere Enters the Blog Search Wars

May 2nd, 2006 Posted in Blog Services, Main Page

If anything, bloggers are being spoiled rotten by the variety of tools (most of them free) being developed. The latest service is Sphere.com, which is finally entering the ultra-competitive blog search market after a long time in beta. TechCrunch has all the details about Sphere's features (when does Michael Arrington sleep?). Sphere has also raised $3.75-million in venture capital but Om Malik makes a good point that company is going to need more to compete against Technorati, Ice Rocket, Google, Blogdigger, et al. Still, there's always room for a new player with an edge. After all, Google entered the search market as a nobody and now rules the world. Sphere's financing comes from Hearst Publishing, Trident Capital and About.com (the New York Times).
