Blogging Roller

Now that Google is indexing newsfeeds and providing Google Blog Search, is there any hope for the wee little blog search companies like Technorati, Feedster, and PubSub? They'll be OK, don't you think? After all, nobody would have invested in them if they didn't have a contingency plan for Google's entry into the market.

It's interesting to me that the servce returns results in "funky" RSS 2.0 format (RSS 2.0 with Dublin Core elements for date and creator info) and Atom 0.3. I assume they can index any format, but I wonder: are Atom 1.0 feeds indexed by Google Blog Search and when will they start producing search results in Atom 1.0 format?
