How do you find the needles in the online haystack?

Blog-specific search engines and directories are also appearing. The quality of citations on those engines is uneven. They include -

* Technorati - claiming to watch 15,101 blogs and biased towards the digerati
* Blogfinder - a category-based directory and engine
* Tpoowl - like the "Weblog Madness list of lists" has not been updated since 2000 but of interest as a snapshot
* Blogs - "The Busy Person's Guide to Blogs", complete with a "Spellbinding Sites and Sources" page
* Blogger Directory - a directory of member sites searchable by date, name and keyword
* Blogstreet - clusters similar blogs into a "neighbourhood"
* Eatonweb - a portal of around 7,000 blogs accessible by name, country, subject and keyword
* Daypop - a "current events search engine" covering around 7,500 news sites, with a 'Top 40' blog list
* Weblogs.com - features a 'Top 100' links list.
