By Yuki NoguchiIt remains one of the Internet's wide-open frontiers: the blogosphere, a virtual place where millions of people post personal journals on everything from politics to sports to music.
But that frontier is fast being harnessed by companies that find value in scouring the Internet for Web logs, or blogs, and delivering them to an audience. Yesterday, Google joined a handful of sites that search and sort through blogs so users can quickly find their topics of interest.
There are other ways for Web surfers to sift through the millions of blogs.
Sites such as Technorati.com, Blogdigger.com, Feedster.com and Bloglines.com, a site owned by search engine company Ask Jeeves Inc., have been up and running for some time.
