So Robert Scoble got upset the other day about people linking to major media sites instead of other blogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It seemed interesting to me. I started to think about the issues involved, mostly because it didn’t seem like natural behavior. But then it hits you like a brick, all of the major search engines have news and search search from their main pages, while only Ask.com has blog search on it’s home page<\/a> (they should move it above news). Yahoo!<\/a>, Google<\/a> and Live Search<\/a> do not. In fact Yahoo! and Live Search would have to acquire or develop such technology.<\/p>\n

As you may recall, I have a history of suggesting search engine home page changes that become reality<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, I’d like to please ask all of the major search engines to add blogs as a major top line category (to the left of or above news) and potentially think about creating options to merge blogs and news into one category if a user desires (I would find this helpful). If the Internet is all about user generated content, shouldn’t the major search engines reward and make that the easier default view?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will look like this (though a little neater, I’m no graphic artist!).<\/p>\n
