Sphere Get $3.75M
Techcrunch have details on Sphere, the new RSS Search playa's series A VC Round (sphere btw - which has been in beta for a good 6 months - which i totally relate to with 10 days to go - i think is ok but im not convinced about their overall recency of some of their search results (esp when u look at quality filters), but some of the stuff they are doing in blog profiles is pretty damn kewl)
TechCrunch : "Sphere search results can be viewed by date, relevance or a combination of both. Unlike Technorati, which determines a blog’s relevance based on the total number of unique links into that blog, Sphere is taking an algorithmic approach. For Sphere, “relevance” is based on three key factors: links in/out of blog; meta data around the blog (average length of posts, post frequency, etc; and a semantic analysis of the posts themselves)."

The really big problem that none of the blog search engines seem to have solved is the problem of splogs (spam blogs).
Google and Technorati search results are often cluttered with spammy search results which make the whole service useless.
