Thing 3--Blog searching

So now I've read all about Technorati and compared it to Google blog searching. I must say I prefer the Google product. It works, it is seamless and quick. A simple search for White House retrieved 42 million hits in just a few seconds. The same search in Technorati retrieved 659 hits. What's the difference? In Technorati you can limit your search to blogs only. I still liked Google best because it has an excellent ranking system that put the official White House blog at the top of the hit list. And to give credit where credit is due, didn't they come up with the first really good search engine for the web? I've always been a name brand kind of person, so I guess that I'm running true to form. I'll stick with Google for now, at least until they lose their mojo.
