Thanks goes to Randy for telling me about this! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

What is Sphere?<\/strong>
\nWe bring you the good stuff a very simple idea that takes some smarts to do right. Sphere’s advanced search algorithm helps you discover high-quality, relevant, and timely blog posts that match what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n

Who needs Sphere?<\/strong>
\nEverybody, of course! In one of three flavors…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. People interested in timely topics, who aren’t quite sure about this whole blogging hoo-ha.<\/li>\n
  2. Readers who already use blog search engines, and are sick of disappointing results and spam. Those who secretly crave a faster, more intuitive, and feature-rich experience.<\/li>\n
  3. Publishers who might like to include some really good blog content in their websites, but only if it’s really, truly good.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What makes us better than other blog search engines?
    \n<\/strong>There are over 30 million blogs, and counting. With so many people reading, writing, and commenting on blogs (where do we find the time?), getting to the high-quality, relevant content on a timely basis is difficult. For a variety of boring, complex technical reasons (such as an exclusive emphasis on freshness, or a simplistic computation of “authority” or the inability to identify spam), other blog search services deliver less-than-satisfying results.<\/p>\n

    Here’s what you get when you use Sphere:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. An easy-to-use, intuitive search engine.<\/li>\n
    2. Great search results, with posts ordered by relevance or time.<\/li>\n
    3. Customizable time frames (play with our custom range filter, the grokiest feature in our site).<\/li>\n
    4. Related mainstream media, books, photos and podcasts right next to the results for a complete picture of the conversation.<\/li>\n
    5. Profiles and stats for each blog listed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
