Google has introduced a new homepage for its blog search that breaks down topics into several specific categories.

Visitors to the Google Blog Search page can now navigate through the following categories, politics, US, world, business, technology, video games, science, entertainment, movies, television and sports.

The new homepage is very similar to Google News in the way the content is displayed.

On the Official Google Blog the company explains its new blog search. “We’re now showing categories on the left side of the website and organizing the blog posts within those categories into clusters, which are groupings of posts about the same story or event.”

“Grouping them in clusters lets you see the best posts on a story or get a variety of perspectives. When you look within a cluster, you’ll find a collection of the most interesting and recent posts on the topic, along with a timeline graph that shows you how the story is gaining momentum in the blogosphere.”

Google says its new blog search feature is only available in English but that it plans to add new features and support for more languages in the coming months.

Google says it lists any blog that publishes a site feed in any format and automatically pings an updating service (such as Google Blog Search Pinging Service). Bloggers can also manually submit a blog for inclusion. The company says it periodically crawls and refreshes manually -added blogs but resubmitting ensures it will index the latest posts.
