Search Engine for MoBlogs
By Loren Baker
Blog Search Engine and IceRocket Search have partnered
to bring cell phone pic blogs, or MoBlogs, into the search engine
world with a new search feature which produces image results of the
latest MoBlogs images available.
Blog
Search Engine has over 10,000 blogs indexed in its blog directory
and this new feature gives them a jump on other cutting edge search
engines in the blogging world. The partnership between the two companies
utilizes IceRocket search technology to serve search results from
TextAmerica blog entries - a MoBlog only blog hosting service.
While Google and Yahoo are trying to accumulate the
largest web image search index, bloggers and site publishers are finding
other targets for web search. TextAmerica's MoBlog service offers
some of the latest and most rapidly updated images online.
If one is looking for some online pics of a John
Kerry or George
W. Bush rally, it makes much more sense to search via MoBlogs
than 3 month old image search engine indexes.
"IceRocket's MoBlog search technology brings
a new dimension to the Blog Search Engine which we never had before,
we're a much better blog searching solution now with our new search
functionality" said Loren Baker, owner of the Blog Search Engine.
Blake Rhodes, CEO of IceRocket notes "Blog search
is incredibly important, sometimes you like to know what other people
think besides the traditional media. Besides, MoBlogs are fun, they
really let you see what others are up to."
If you've heard of IceRocket before, it's the search
engine that Mark Cuban of Broadcast.com fame and the Dallas Mavericks
invested in earlier this year. IceRocket has been hailed by many for
their approach to pioneering commercial search by putting the interests
of wants and consumers before advertisers."
What are MoBlogs?
MoBlog stands for mobile weblog which consists of
content posted to the Internet from a mobile or portable device, such
as a cellular phone or PDA.
According to Wikipedia, much of the earliest development
of moblogs occurred in Japan, among the first countries in the world
where camera phones (portable phones with built-in cameras) were widely
commercially available.
