An acquaintance of mine has apparently been trashing some other friends of mine (and possibly me too) in a blog. How can I find this blog? It didn’t come up on a google search… is there a blog search tool where you can enter someone’s name? I would ask the person in question, but he would probably deny that any blog existed…

First of all, what search terms did you use? Maybe we can give you some better ones. Also, it takes Google some time to find new sites, so check again every few days and it might pop up. You could also try a different search engine.

if they’ve linked to your blog while trashing you, you can use the “link:http://\<website\>” syntax to search for their blog. Also accessible via advanced search.
