Im a little confused right now - about 20 minutes prior to me writing this I wrote another entry on my blog. A few minutes later I decided to do a few search on Google to see what came up for the query “pythonsblog”. To my surprise the content of the entry I had just posted only a few minutes earlier was displaying beneath the title of my site in Google’s results.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure Google used to take a fair bit longer than that to spider a site and update their servers (at least a few days) - obviously not! So is Google updating it’s spidered content immediately?
Does anyone else know anything about this? Is Google updating as soon as their spiders see new content on a site?

It’s a blog-specific thingie. They tend to include something from a blog within 20 minutes of it having been posted.

Ahh right I see. Does anyone know if it is just blogs in general or is it done on a per blog basis? For example do they keep a close eye on every single blog or just certain ones?
