I'm showing up on Google and Technorati (technorati was first by about an hour) but still no IceRocket (or Feedster!).

timthefoolman: I don't see where you put brrreeeport on your blog.
Mike: interesting. We'll see how long it takes for you to show up. You're using Wordpress, right? Are you pinging any blog service?

By the way, you should note that Google Blog search provides ESTIMATES on its first page of results. When I dug deeper, actually looking for the results, their totals went way down, and were right at the same numbers as Technorati's.

Scoble-
As we blogged about yesterday, Feedster is currently enduring a series of upgrades. The current upgrade has limited the ability to have search results that reflect the most recent posts that are occurring in real time. I should have pinged you earlier when I saw that you started your "Brrreeeport" to let you know that we wouldn't be able to participate and for that I apologize. I think what you are doing is great and I know that Feedster would love to participate in future comparison tests.
In the end, you are giving smaller companies a larger voice and also showing that many times their results are far superior.

Robert, Not seeing my post in the search engines, either. (Scroll to the bottom of the post)
I don't show on the Technorati tags list, but I am there on regular search. This is actually quite typical: I often find my posts indexed minutes after the ping, which means they show up on regular Technorati search, but the tags are nowhere. A few hours later one or two tags show up, and it may take days before all tags are found. Go figure ....
I sent a link to DrudgeReport.com. I said it was a news worthy item. Let's see if they post anything about it on their site!
Great idea!

Someone has taken the time to register www.brrreeeport.com! That kinda scares me a little...

Sorry to double post, but I just noticed something else that's interesting. The other bits of the web are starting to join in as well. Google Adsense has entries defined for 'brrreeeport'. Still nothing on Google Images or MSN Images yet (someones missing out there). And hardly anything at all on del.icio.us.

Hahahaha Hahahahaha. Oh dear me, you people live in your little own worlds. (Trust me, as one who has had many REAL Drudge hits, this doesn't rate a single microscopic iota). And hasn't ANYONE noticed that the rats are leaving Technorati, like mad? Jason DeFillippo and Niall Kennedy, poof. Maybe that could account for the "results"? Everyone getting sick and tired of not being bought out?

Both Google and Technorati are about 7 days old for my stuff, so it's not just the "brrreeeport" post that's not up to date. It makes me wonder if the speed with which you're linked traffic-related. Mine has a very small (though oddly consistent) number of daily page views.

Added brrreeeport at WebLogging.Org and pinged from tecnorati a couple of minutes ago

I wonder what the effect would be as this gets localized. In Romanian, for example, the word would be brrraaaporte or brrreeepatare.
A day late and a dollar short, here is where things stand for me: I've got results on Feedburner, Technorati, Google and Blogdigger. Still nothing on Icerocket.
This was a great experiment, Robert. Thanks for doing it. I'm sure our collective gratitude, reinforcing your own A-List blogger status, is a great bonus. Or, was it the plan all along? Either way, we all learned something.
What I really learned is that your experiment suggests something that I've suspected for a while: Tags are the latest in a long line of traffic aggregation tools which will be abused to the point of damaging their effectiveness.
Looking forward to the next one ...

Bjorn, Blogspot is owned by google, so they are likely to index you first; we picked you up at 04:28:21 pacific time, so 7 minutes after posting. To get indexed more quickly you can ping us manually at: http://technorati.com/ping.html

The Y! blog search for this exercise is http://blog.news.search.yahoo.com/blog/search?p... and it yields a respectable result - even if it's considered to be in beta.
