Was Feedster really that much of a “nothing” to deserve such lack of attention? The figures I’ve seen suggest it was probably one of the top five blog search sites as recently as six months ago.

In any case, there’s always Zuula’s blog search … Results from the top 8 blog search engines, all in one place!

Cheers!
