Thing 11

I explored more blog searcher engines like Google Blog Search and Technorati. Both have great features to help users to locate the blog/RSS feeds they are looking for. I also played with some other tools and here are the answers to the following questions.
  • Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use?
    Through the search engine, e.g., Google search in the Google reader.
  • Which Search tool was the easiest for you and which was more confusing?
    Although I am a fan of Google, but I like Technorati better because it seems to be more organized with topics and it has ranking of popular blogs.
  • What kind of useful feeds did you find in your travels or what kind of unusual ones did you find?
    Well, I found very interesting (and amazing) pictures and useful articles for my teaching. I believe there will be some more discoveries when I keep exploring this new way of collecting information.
  • What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds?
    I haven't had chance to try other ways or use tools besides those given in the instructions. I know there are a lot more out there. Right now, I think looking for the RSS feed icons is one of the most efficient ways.
