A new blog aggregator - gnoos - has been launched to make it easier for Internet users to find Australian blogs.
Currently it’s quite difficult to find blogs in a particular country using tools like Technorati or Google Blog Search.
Gnoos’s main page also tracks updates of Australian blogs, Australian media reports, and global blogs.
While gnoos is still a relatively basic tool, there’s a lot of potential for it to grow into something much bigger, especially if it can gain the support of the Australian blogging community.
However, I would speculate that gnoos only has a relatively narrow window of opportunity to gain the momentum it requires to prosper — after all, it wouldn’t be too difficult for Google Blog Search or Technorati to launch country-specific search filters, or indeed, country-specific blog search home pages, if they thought there was an opportunity.
Good luck gnoos!
