Google News users can now include blogs in their news queries thanks to a link promotion done sometime this past weekend. WebProNews’ David Utter has thorough write-up of this event, something many have expressed approval towards. The general consensus is the blog news search promotion will improve and hopefully increase people’s exposure to the blogosphere.

However, the Techcrunch blog wonders why Google stopped there. They believe Google should promote their blog search to at least the second tier (the “more” drop down box above Google’s search box) search level. The theory is a move like this would increase blogosphere exposure even further than the Google News promotion does.

With that in mind, what other search options should Google promote? There certainly are quite a few to pick from.
