I agreee with Hendrick who mentioned other alternative web 2.0 search engines. Blog Dimension is a nice site and should do well. The blog landscape seems to change almost daily on what is hot and what is not.

Well, there are many alternative blog search systems and more generally Web 2.0 search engines emerging here or there.
I would mention the http://www.blogdimension.com initiative which combines blog search, image search, podcast search, online video search and soon people search and shopping 2.0 search.

So, things are evolving at a fast pace in this market.
Best,

[...] David Dalka looks at a potentially post-Technorati landscape and runs down other blog search engines, such as Ask, Google, and Icerocket. My personal take is that there is yet to be the “Google” of the blog search market (and that includes Google blog search!). Technorati is actually just about the best at present, and I like the introduction of its “authority” system, though how it works is somewhat mysterious to me. [...]

I can understand the desire to know who is linking to a specific post – totally!!!

But why does a count matter to you?

David…even the best trackback features aren’t particularly accurate–and every blogger, no matter what the platform, should be able to have his/her links counted. We shouldn’t necessarily all be herded into one particular blogging platform. That’s not all that practical either.

We have a differenc of opinion on this, and it’s not a bad thing. Isn’t that kind of what conversation’s sometimes about? or do you see blogs mostly for pontification?

I would highly encourage that everyone use a blogging platform that allows trackbacks and that everyone use trackbacks properly as a good conversational blogger should.

Your blog should tell you who is linking to you via trackbacks itself from bloggers who properly utilize trackbacks. Outsourcing this to a search engine is unnecessary but it shows where people could add the features you suggest in other search engines.

Dave…Google search seriously stinks for finding out who’s linking to your blog. for me, blogging’s not just about what I write, and a level of authority I gain, but also measuring who’s helping contribute to my rise in authority–and a lot of that has to do with who’s linking to me. I like to get to know other bloggers who link to me regularly–Google doesn’t help with that. Ask doesn’t help with that (although some of their new stuff is really great.) And Icerocket doesn’t go deep enough into the blogosphere. As it stands now, Google only rewards heavily linked bloggers or bloggers who don’t upset it in some way (like those of us who didn’t convert our templates in the Google/Blogger merger)

Technoratt–even with its occasional outages–still stands out in blog search for who’s linking to whom. This is not just important to enterprising bloggers, but to business bloggers who may be monitoring what other bloggers are saying about their work. Think about it.
