gobbletygork: I've been going through the Joe Cafasso blogs

It appears as though some blogs are on the radar for Cafasso posts now. This is a good thing; I was concerned that we'd be working toward absolutely nothing, boxed in completely from the internet world. We've got Tracking Cafasso, Cao's blog, Your Worst Nightmare, and The Way I Like It coming up on the first couple of pages in technorati for a Joe Cafasso search.

In bloglines, and google blog search, the results are puzzling. I will see if I can upload images later...the wife is calling, I have some things to attend to. Every time I start turning something up, I get called away. Will try to get back to this tomorrow some time, and continue pointing out the skewed results.

My initial take on this loopy phenomenon is this: we need to check each other's blogs, and repeat the information so that the searches will pick it up. Otherwise, we'll be straitjacketed into search engine hell, and nobody will learn the details of this story. These engines are not showing that we're linking to each other, so I don't understand how this works, or how to improve the results. Blogsnot sucks, of course, that goes without saying.

Update: Checking bloggers search, google blog search and blogger beta blog search. For the first two, as you can see, the results are the least impressive over technorati and blogger beta. Blogger beta search, however, does a much better job. Conclusion: With blogger beta as the exception (and how many people use that, or know it exists?) few if any of these search engines actually doing what their claim is in a search for information in the blogs about Cafasso; there is no thorough search for what bloggers are writing about this character that reveals all the information available. So the hypothesis and solution I propose above still stands.
