I could be totally wrong about this, but if I had to make an educated guess I would say that Google has been working behind the scenes on their own blog search formula.

“Jeff – Why not Google?”

I think Google already controls enough of the Internet now. Google is no longer the little engine that could, it’s the 800 pound gorilla. Between Google, MSN and yahoo, smaller players no longer have a chance.

The timing of this rumour is interesting – News Corp just announced they are about to buy a search engine (http://www.tomrafteryit.net/news-corp-to-buy-technorati/) – would Dave Sifry sell out to Rupert Murdoch? Say it isn’t so Dave!

I hope the buyer isn’t Murdoch’s News Corp.:

“News Corp is preparing to spend up to $2 billion on the internet. Murdoch has said that this is the groupâ€™s top priority as far as global expansion is concerned. It is said to be looking at buying a small internet search engine.”
