I’m pretty sure we can find a blog that was left out in any of these three lists, and some others that did not belong here; but definitely we can find here some of the references in the “blogosphere”.

In the essentials we can find some really cool examples like TechCrunch; but the interesting are the overrated ones, the mentions were for Perez Hilton (totally agree), Fail blog, and a surprisingly Mashable.

Here are the lists:

Sapiens (Mac) – Probably the most intuitive apple launcher I’ve ever used, Sapiens is accessed from either a circular motion from your mouse / touchpad or a keyboard shortcut and actually learns which programs you use the most and anticipates what you’ll need.  Sadly, it’s still not working with 10.6.

SuperDuper! (Mac) – The easiest way I’ve ever cloned a hard drive, ever.  Want to upgrade to a larger hard drive in your Mac, get SuperDuper, connect the new hard drive via an SATA to USB adapter, run it.  Pull the existing hard drive and replace with the new one and turn the power on.  Brilliant!

PixelStick (Mac) – If you do web design or web graphics, PixelStick is an amazing little app to measure distance and angles on the screen.  I can’t tell you how often I use this for laying out sites, creating banner ads and doing alignments of web graphics.

Paparazzi! (Mac) -  A small and unobtrusive app for taking screenshots of web pages.

XXCLONE (Windows) – The Windows version of SuperDuper! and it does an excellent job of cloning hard drives.

CutePDF (Windows) – Create PDF files from any printable document, for free!

EASEUS Partition Master (Windows) – Create partitions, resize, format and merge on nearly all Windows platforms, for free!

SpinRite (Windows) – Hard drives aren’t perfect, when you need to do maintenance on them or recover data, SpinRite can help.

PhotoRec (Windows / Mac / Linux) – If you’ve ever formatted the memory card in your digital camera by accident, PhotoRec will be worth it’s weight in gold.  Best photo recovery tool ever, and it’s free!

DVD Flick (Windows) – Convert nearly any video file into a playable DVD.

Mac The Ripper (Mac) – Quickly and easily rip any DVD movie to your hard drive.  This application is great if you travel a lot and need to extend the battery life between charges.  Using your built in DVD slot consumes far more battery juice compared to playing a movie from  your hard drive.

HandBrake (Mac / Windows / Linux) -  An open source video transcoder for all platforms, you can now extract video or audio or both from any video source and convert it into nearly any other source.

Vixy (Mac / Windows) – Vixy is an online service to rip YouTube videos to your hard drive, but the site can be somewhat unstable due to high traffic.  To resolve this problem they’ve released the desktop app.  Still in Beta with a few quirks, the options to save as .avi, .mov or just extract the audio as .mp3 are nice.

Pidgin (Mac / Windows / Linux) – Possibly one of the best chat clients available that loads nearly all formats of chat available, from AIM to Gtalk, Facebook to Yahoo.

FireBug (Firefox) An add-on for Firefox, FireBug is essential for anyone who does web design to quickly and efficiently track down errors with web page development.

SciTE (Windows) – Based on the Scintilla text editor, SciTE has extensions built in.  This is hands down one of the best text editors available, and it’s free!

Audacity (Mac) – Going further than GarageBand, Audacity gives you a level of fine tuning and editing that is second to none.  This open-source project is also free!

FireFTP (Firefox) – If you need to FTP data, chances are you probably already have a web browser open, so why not do it right in Firefox?  FireFTP is a small add-on that is simple to use and provide rock solid stability.

Keyfinder (Windows) – This tiny little app does one thing, sniffs out the product key of nearly any version of Windows.  Very helpful when you need to reinstall the operating system but the sticker has been scratched or worn off the case.

Foxit (Windows / Linux / Firefox) – Simply the fastest PDF reader I’ve ever used, period.  Uninstall Acrobat reader and install this free PDF reader, period.

Enter, stage left, Twingly.com, a Swedish blog search engine founded by Martin Källström.

According to Twingly.com’s ‘about‘ section, the philosophy behind their search system is to produce “a blog search engine featuring a spam-free, faceted, social search for the global blogosphere”. Nice, but aren’t Technorati and URLFan doing the same thing? Twingly uses relationships, ie how well linked each blog and article is, to work out how relevant to your search they are. Key to the service is a blog’s ‘approval’. If a blog is not approved by the Twingly team (meet them here), it could potentially be spam. If you are the owner of a blog that comes up as not being approved, you can of course resolve that little issue by sending the Twingly team a swift e-mail.

You can express your opinion on the blogs Twingly finds via a fluorescent green ‘links/likes’ tab. This shows you how many people are linking to the page and it allows you, once you’ve signed up to the service, to vote on if the post is relevant or useful – it’s the equivalent of Technorati Favourites.

Where it gets really interesting though is the blog profile page. With some nifty “research”, we can compare Crenk’s ranking on Twingly, Technorati and URLFan.

Crenk is ranked 3/10 (10 being the highest) with 43 blogs registering as being linked to various articles on Twingly. Technorati claims 80 and URLFan says 45, with 199 other mentions. These are vastly differing numbers, and you have to wonder if Technorati is brilliantly accurate  or if it’s not omitting that nasty spam.

Some other nice touches from Twingly include the ability to search within a certain timeframe, <em>as mentioned</em> you can search by one of the 12 supported languages, and you can also look  for blogs that have been officially approved, thus weeding out any other possible spam.

Twingly have also released their top 100 blogs by ranking, and if you are proud of where your blog sits in their 1-10 scale, you can of course throw on that all important badge to show it off. One rather large omission however,  is the Huffington Post.

With this in mind it is safe to say that Twingly isn’t the most accurate blog search engine, yet. However, the layout is simple and practical,  and although the ‘likes/links’ updating isn’t instantaneous (it took about ten minutes to register), the future looks very bright for the Twingly team who are currently overseeing about 25 million searches per month.

Twingly has the potential to be a very good blog search engine. It looks good, is quick when pulling together results and the blog profiles, in relation to each other, are very useful; it even has some pleasant widgets to pop alongside your page ranking.

They are very much into their feedback in Sweden, and you can vote for your most wanted features at the Twingly Tech Plan page.

Try Twingly.com out for yourself and let us know what you think.
