The leaves that hung but never grew

No one else has a blog search engine that is as comprehensive, and indexes as rapidly, as the Google Blog search. Neither Yahoo nor Bing (aka Microsoft Live Search) has a blog search option, so far as I know. Technorati, for some reason, never picked up The Leaves that Hung But Never Grew, though I submitted it on their form several times. In the end, I stopped bothering. I'd given up using them myself by that time - too many spam results. (But I think they may have a better spam filter now.) I never bothered to submit The Leaves that Hung to other blog search engines. After all, before the last few weeks, it was only a bit of fun.
