According to Google, “Hot Queries is an easy way to quickly dive into the trending points of conversation on the web. Hot Queries lists searches currently popular in Blog Search. Latest Posts on the other hand shows recent posts from popular blogs”.

In this way you can find out what people are looking for on the web with Hot Queries and you can find stories even before people starts searching for them.

Another new feature in Google Blog Search is, subscribing to RSS and Atom Feeds just like in Google Reader.
