I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.
I've joined the Sphere Beta Program and have some initial thoughts. While I find the related blogs feature useful, the blog post search results for keywords like "AJAX" aren't quite hitting the mark. I'd love to see improvements such as RSS subscription options for results, more refined date filtering (e.g., between specific dates), and a "find similar posts" feature.
I just learned that getting listed on Technorati's Blog Search requires configuring a claim and adding 20 keywords/tags, even if those tags aren't used on my blog. I question the need for this outdated method, given Technorati already has access to blog tags and cross-referencing data.
