Someone at google got all lcase() happy. Most of the results returned from Google’s Blog search are being converted to all lowercase. I first noticed it early this morning when all my saved vanity searches started showing up as new in my feed reader. My reader shows me a wiki-like diff of changes to feed items, so it was rather obvious.
