Disclosure

    Nobody pays me to write any of the copy on my blog, and should I ever have the good fortune that they do, I will declare it. My main employment is as the owner and principal of The Future Place consultancy. The Future Place provides two key services 1) training and services to industry and academic bodies and 2) consultancy services to companies. The details of the companies I work with are a private matter, but if I blog about any company who has paid The Future Place more than expenses recently (approx. two years) I will mention that they are a client. I hold equity in Virtual Surveys and provide consulting services to them from time to time. I am paid to run courses for a number of trade bodies and over the last few years clients have included ESOMAR, AMSRS, MRS, and MRIA.

What is your favourite blog search engine?

I have been reviewing a few of them recently for the book, including Google's blog search, Technorati, IceRocket, and BlogPulse, but may favourite at the moment is BlogScope.

I like the advanced search options and I like the extras.

For example, when I searched "Climate Change" it generated 403K results with at least some influence. It also suggested the following ten words were the most associated terms

  • Science
  • Copenhagen
  • Sustainable
  • Environment
  • Including
  • Energy
  • Year
  • 2010
  • Scientists
  • New

This search can be seen here although, your results will be a newer than mine of course.

I also really like the popularity curve, see image below.
