Mike Arrington, HitWise, Gigaom and a bunch of other folks including me now all are talking about useless numbers comparing Google Blog Search to Technorati. Does anyone really care? I know I don’t. In fact I think they do entirely different things. I use technorati feeds more than anything. I use Google Blog Search when I’m bored out of my mind and am looking for something new. Comscore, Hitwise, Blogpulse, and Alexa are all pretty useless but they make great egoboosters when things are good, and can sure make you feel crappy when the numbers aren’t leaning your way.

I have used Sphere a couple times every month just to see what was going on there. The results have consistently been worse than useless compared to Technorati or Google.
Sorry, hit submit too soon. As I was saying, Sphere deserves to be in the basement until they get themselves fixed.
very interesting, but I don’t agree with you
