Orlowski: Weblog Specific Google

Andrew Orlowski, of The Register, reports on Google's announcement to make a weblog specific element to the search engine. Of course, as a noted weblog doubter, Orlowski also takes the opportunity to claim weblogs are highly overvalued by Google.

Can't say as how I agree with the "low information quality of blog infested Google results," quote, but I can see how automatically generated links (e.g. TrackBack), could skew relevance results.

Thinking out loud: folks say Google crawls weblogs more frequently, but is that because they're weblogs? Or because they change fast? I think the latter.
