The way I do this is through eCairn (www.ecairn.com - disclaimer I am connected to these guys). They have search, and then you can accumulate a list of blogs you track. But on top on this, you can save your searches and they make recommendations on blogs that would be relevant, based on the query itself but also which blogs you retained from that query to start tracking. If you are into blogs for more than just reading and monitoring, they also provide very extensive functionality for engaging with the blogsphere (as I am doing now), allowing you to track the blogs where you comment, and view the impact over time. Worth checking... I agree that Technorati is not the best place to track blogs. The way I do this is through eCairn (www.ecairn.com – disclaimer I am connected to these guys).

If one wants to see what the news media are saying, one looks at Google. And now if one wants to see what blogs are saying one looks at Google as well. Technorati just takes way too long.
