The Register has an interesting article about the effects blogs are having on Google. I’ve noticed a recent increase in comments, partly due to comment spamming, but also due to more people finding my blog, presumably through Google. I’m guessing that in their never ending quest to improve search results, the pendulum has swung back to giving blogs more importance. I’m confident that eventually they’ll strike a balance between blogs and other web sites.

It was surprising to find my site listed when I searched for ‘utah trax‘ a few days ago. It wasn’t particularly helpful, because I knew my site didn’t have the information I was looking for, but it was still kind of cool. Besides, the first result had the information I was looking for.
