New Google Co-op Custom Search Engine for Searching the Most Popular Podcasts Goes Live at Blabline.com

A new search engine made possible by Google Co-Op is likely to keep MP3 players jam-packed with hours of recommended podcasts for a long time to come.

Blabline.com is a Google Co-op powered search engine that allows users to zero in on the most popular podcasts and sought-after videocasts. The new search engine was created by Anders Lindman, a software designer with a master's of science degree in computer science.

"Google has with its co-op concept taken Web search to a new level," Lindman said. "Blabline is a dedicated podcast search engine based on Google Co-op." With the power of the Google search engine augmenting its podcast and videocast results, Blabline.com is the newest in the growing trend of Google Custom Search Engine creations. Users are able to glean the same results they would from a regular Google search, but the focus is on podcasts and videocasts.

Blabline.com will enable fans of podcasts and videocasts to easily locate the information and entertainment they are seeking. Recent years have led to the popular growth of podcasts thanks to affordable portable mp3 players and the ability to specifically choose desired programming. And, by subscribing to popular podcasts and downloading free programming onto MP3 players, listeners can take programs with them on the go. Many cars can also be equipped with MP3 player adapters so that the best podcasts can be enjoyed on the daily commute or on long road trips when radio station reception may come and go. Blabline.com is another means by which these subscribers can fine tune their own personalized entertaining or informational podcast content.

With potentially millions of online podcasts on the Web to choose from, it's easy for a novice to become overwhelmed with the choices. But the new podcast search engine powered by Google Co-Op, Blabline.com, means that there will still be plenty of choices, but now without the confusion.

Conversely, podcasters and podcast or videocast directory managers can rank higher in Blabline.com by adding sites and URLs containing podcasts and videocasts. In this sense, Blabline.com is a new, thriving community for those that make, manage, and listen to podcasts because the podcast creators can directly affect the engine's results for recommended podcasts, and therefore, what podcasts are heard.
