"I don't recall Feedster ever being all that useful. But I also don't find Technorati particularly useful. Why can't someone just create a simple search engine for feeds/blogs?"Blog search engines are hardly useable so far. While Technorati has finally started to work a bit more reliably has introduced some new features (like the sometimes helpful Blogfinder), most search engines lack the convenience and reliability of Google.
The truth is that it is very difficult to build a search engine with real-time updates, since search engines are optimized for retrieval and usually use batch indexing. In addition, the majority of weblogs are spam, further compounding the problem."
I personally find most engines lacking the basic promise search offers - finding what I need. As long as thsi is teh case and nobody has found a 'golden bullet' like Google's Pagerank it will be hard to exit.

For instance, if you are looking for popular search engine or seo related news, articles, headlines, blogs and forums you can use http://www.searchenginefeeds.org/feeds/
. It offers a searchable database of over 250 different sites that offer an XML, RSS or Atom feed for syndication and updates many times daily.
I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to find a site like this for other blogs that you may be interested in searching for. Other than that I pretty much agree with your post and the help resources you mentioned.
