TalkDigger gave unimpressive results when I typed in a colleague's URL. Most of the first few results appeared to be hijacks, pointing to a competitor's page. I'll be interested to see if others do better.

I really like Talk Digger. I've used it on several occasions to find out which blogs are linking to my clients' websites. It helped identify at least one blogger who we'll be reaching out to in the future.

David: I actually meant to credit you with pointing Talk Digger out to me, but forgot. I've only taken it for a spin a couple of times, so I can't vouch for its consistency, but I can definitely see the value of a tool like that.
