Scoble is testing blog search engines with nonsense:

"The brrreeeport report OK, it’s been a little more than two hours since I asked people to put “brrreeeport” on their blogs to “mess with the man” and build a new kind of directory.

...Have you figured out what I was up to yet? Why, of course! It was an opportunity for me to try the blog search engines out!


...Let's look at what the search engines have found so far.


Google’s Blog Search has found nine blogs so far.


IceRocket has found none.


Feedster has found none.


Technorati finds five blogs so far. But only one blog (mine) has tagged itself with brrreeeport.


UPDATE: Technorati now finds 11 blogs at 8:36 p.m. (while Google still only finds nine). UPDATE 2: Technorati finds 39 posts, same as Google’s blog search at 11:09 p.m. None of the big three’s main search engines have found any so far. And that’s the latest from brrreeeport!"
