I'm skeptical of the Web 2.0 hype and tire quickly of the "vie en rose" attitude expressed in company blogs and, individually, the very pretend altruistic righteousness of the Valley Crowd (it's still about getting R I C H). They're losers. But I like Sphere, which I was skeptical of at first. I find myself using it a lot. Technorati is a bloody mess. Unreadable. Headache to look at. Google blog search is okay, but I find they are not so great with ranking results -- especially by date/time and by relevance. I think whoever else does this sucks, because I don't really use anything else and don't care to. Blogs are the best way to mine for opinion. Anyways, regarding Sphere. Sphere has a clean and simple interface. Somehow Sphere returns timely and relevant results -- from even the most obscure blogs. I've tested! So good work. It's annoying that the default search time range is too small. P.S. Where is ookles ?!?!?!?!?!? I want OOKLES! Hi there, Spherons (if this sticks, I get the credit. Thanks.)
