Tony Hung of Deep Jive Interests mentions that, more and more, Google Blog Search is replacing Technorati as a measure of a blog’s inbound links:

            “…Is Google’s Blogsearch *good* at finding those inbound Blog links? 

Now, a quick look by myself shows that for Deep Jive Interests, the answer is resounding “HELL NO.”  The last time Google shows any inbound link is October 30th, but in fact I have inbound links all the way until yesterday.  In fact, Technorati is able to find blogs that have linked to me within the minute those posts (that have those links) are published.  Google looks like its about a week behind.
Now the caveat here is that I am still waiting for my blog to get re-indexed by Google after I was hacked.  So, maybe *that*’s the reason why Google doesn’t look so good, right?

Well, I had a few cursory looks at a few of my other favourite blogs, and the same sort of pattern emerges.  Technorati is able to find the “reactions” within minutes of those inbound links actually being published.

Google?  It has trouble.”

It could be that what Google is collecting and what it shows are two different views of the data; we know that’s true of websites because you can see a lot more backlinks to a site in Google Webmaster Central than what is shown using the Google Toolbar.
