I've had this sort of problem before also. I was looking for what people were saying about folksonomy and delicious around October 2005 on blogs. I was following that information pretty closely at the time and I remember certain themes, but I was entirely frustrated by the various searches. The best thing for me to do was search particular blogs I was reading (the ones I remember and are still online) and follow the links and trackbacks. Fortunately it wasn't a major part of my research - just looking for a mood or impression rather than statistical significance - and I was already familiar with the sources, otherwise I'm not aware of any good tools for this. -- Ericka Menchen Trevino http://blog.erickamenchen.net On 7/11/06, Jeremy Hunsinger <jhuns@vt.edu> wrote:
If i were you, i would just contact technorati directly, explain what you are doing and why you would like the data. they probably have the data, just don't float it to the web. On Jul 11, 2006, at 6:44 AM, Ana Keshelashvili wrote:
Dear Maciej, thanks, Google blogsearch really gives that nice option to search within certain time-frame, however, my biggest problem with blogpost searhchers is that none of them (those I've tried out) explain properly how representative the returned search results are. Any ideas about it?
Thanks

Dear Ana,
Have you tried http://blogsearch.google.com ? It gives you a nice option to search within a specific time range.
Hope this helps, Maciej
Dear Aoir Colleagues,
I'm trying to research what were the US bloggers saying about publication of Muhammad cartoon for the first 6 months of this year. I was trying to collect data through Technorati, but it doesn't return results from the beginning of January, also as I'm aware, it doesn't necessarily give results from some of A-list bloggers (not sure if that's true). I turned to BlogPulse search. I was wondering, if anyone could give an opinion about BlogPulse searcher, how representative it is or how it collects and returns blog posts.
Thanks, Best,
