I've been going through reading some feedback about BlogMatcher. Well, maybe "feedback" isn' the right word, since I'm looking up blogs that link to BlogMatcher and digging through to see what, if anything, people are saying.
A pretty large number of searches have been made in the last few days (my logs tell me over 5300 at the time of writing), and comments made on various blogs are generally positive. It seems like in most cases, bloggers indicate that the search results were at least satisfactory and it seems to have offered some level of entertainment. Some of the major "complaints" seem to be:
- BlogMatcher's inability to distinguish languages
- The system's inability to tell that www.something.com and something.com are the same
I'm also glad to hear that at least some people found new blogs of interest through BlogMatcher. The way I see it, if even a tiny fraction of BlogMatcher users find new blogs that they didn't know about before, it was all worth the while.

This looks interesting. I've linked and recommended it on my blog. Good work!
