Perhaps lost among all the Google Blog Search hype is the new Japanese blog search engine from Ask Jeeves.
The site, located here, serves the Japanese market, where an estimated 16.5 million people visit blogs at least once per month. The number of blogs in Japan is around 3.35 million.
Jeeves has been operating an American counterpart in the form of Bloglines for a while now and there’s no set date for when the new blog search tool will make an appearance outside of Japan.
Gary Price of Search Engine Watch has more details.
On another Jeeves-related note, check out the latest controversy over whether or not the popular search engine is installing spyware without permission.
