Google Blog Search moves in with parents?

Apparently Andy Boyd, living in the UK, saw a Blog Search integration into the traditional Google search, at the bottom. He posted a screenshot over at his blog. This story has been picked up by lots of hotshots on the blogosphere, so if you want more on this, head over to Boyd’s blog and follow the trackbacks.

My take? Well, it’s always good that there’ll be better exposure to the blogosphere, but I’m worried about splogs and such ruining it, actually. What if a non-blogosphere savvy user clicks three suggested Blog Search links, and only get rubbish splogs? I’m pretty sure that’s a reader lost to the blogosphere… Then again, there are spammy traditional sites getting hits from search engines as well, so perhaps it isn’t such a big problem.

It’ll be interesting to see if this is a feature that’ll roll out sometime soon, or just Google trying some stuff out.
