Xanga’s search engine is dead again. What else is news?! I’m just appreciative that it sometimes works! But hell…I need it: Do you think I can remember everything I’ve ever blogged? Ha! So I have this great idea…but a shadowy déjà vu comes around suggesting the possibility that I may have blogged the topic before. But how can I know without searching for it? I mean, after all, I write half my blogs in a half-crazed state of visionary euphoria. And I write the other half in a fully-crazed state of drug-induced revisionary euphoria. And it’s not like I read them or nothing. So how would I know unless I search?
It would nice to be able to use Google to search our blogs. Google is undoubtedly the best search engine in the world with 32% of the world’s search hits—and growing. And while it provides a huge amount of hits—378,000—on the keyword “Xanga”, alas, it offers little prowess in being able to search the contents of all Xanga blogs. Hence, my fallback to Xanga’s never-quite-reliable, but Xanga-content-rich search engine.
But regardless, those 378,000 hits are impressive! And it got me thinking: How do they compare to the hits for other high-profile blogs on the internet? So I did a little playful investigating and found:
