TechCrunch’s Mike Arrington got what appears to be one of the first looks at Sphere, a new blog search service that the general public won’t be able to see for at least a few weeks. The company claims to have algorithms that divine relevance better than largely link-based engines like Google’s. Can’t wait to try it out.
Anyone else getting tired of all these sneak preview, pre-release hype routines. Sphere is just one. Flock another. Scoble is famous for it. Let me know when I can try it and be the judge.
