Looks like AOL is trying to jump into the blog search game - Steve Rubel has the story:

AOL and Intelliseek on Monday plan to unveil a blog content deal. Sue MacDonald at Intelliseek confirmed that the deal - set to be announced Monday at 7:30 a.m. - will give AOL access to rich blog data that they will deliver to consumers. While MacDonald did not say what specific data AOL will get, one can certainly speculate that it will come from BlogPulse and reside on the new AOL.com site.

I've been fairly happy with the BlogPulse results - they don't seem to contain the volume of splog content that is making Feedster and PubSub less useful every day.
