cataloguing blogs
The number of published blogs has grown at a very fast rate - even over the last few months, so navigating, searching and finding articles of interest may prove difficult.
The standard search engines do perform satisfactorily, but having a dedicated blog search engine like Technorati (currently this site's number two search engine) certainly helps narrowing down your search result.
Similarly, You Read Me is an automated feed of the hottest posts on the web (i.e. the entries which have been linked, read and commented on the most). What is really useful is the ability to filter results by the last 12, 24, 72 hours or longer if you wish.
