So Sphere Blog Search Engine has finally been launched. Steve Rubel, Graywolf, Michael Arrington,  Ben Metcalfe and Chris Sherman are all giving their feedback on the new search engine.

Chris Sherman points out on Search Engine Watch that Sphere takes a new approach to blog search:

Sphere takes a new approach to blog search, looking at three critical variables to understand both individual blog posts and the nature of the blog they appear on. As with web search, Sphere attempts to understand link structures—who’s linking to whom, and what are the quality of the links. Crucial to this analysis is an attempt to understand who’s starting or leading discussions in contrast to those bloggers who are simply commenting on existing conversations.

Steve Rubel says that Sphere Blog Search is a contender on his blog Micro Persuasion:

Sphere is a welcome addition to the blog search crowd, which Technorati has largely dominated. Competition is good for everyone, including Technorati. It’s beautiful to look at, simple to use and delivers excellent results.

As far as I’m concerned, Sphere has evolved dramatically since its first private beta test back in October 2005.
