Blogs and blog search engines > Google News

Amazing. Today I was hooked on CNN.com for their coverage of the Michael Jackson trial verdict. I loved the little dots that would change color for each count. Great idea, CNN. Use it better next time, though - it didn't update until they were all said! I had heard the results before you gave them to me.

What really amazed me though was how Technorati (or at least the beta version) started picking up the results from the blogs faster than Google News did. Even News.com noticed the slowness of Google News.

Power to the blogs. I'm surprised Scoble didn't notice/mention that.
