Anonymity Search on Sphere
My post yesterday on anonymity led me into several conversations on the topic (issues of privacy and attribution/plagiarism are related but also completely different topics), and this led to my searching it on Sphere.
I’d missed Jeff Jarvis’s post on the Tim Berners Lee interview in the Guardian plus Tim’s response to the Guardian interview on his blog (numerous bloggers linking and commenting on that one), and found other related posts as well.
Out of curiosity, I searched “Tim Berners Lee” on Google Blog search - 19,123 results. On Technorati - 185 results. On Sphere - 188 results. In this instance, Sphere’s reach matched Technorati with comparable or better overall quality, depending on your interests and pov.
Sphere is a blog search engine that has just come out of Beta. So far, only a few of my searches there have returned no results, but that percentage is falling fast, while the overall quality of results remains excellent. Check out their cool bookmarklet to display related topics to the subject of any post you’re reading.
