Thing 9: Finding Feeds

I explored Technorati, which I found the easiest for identifying blogs. I was searching for my cousin David's blog, which is one I've been following for several years now and is one of my all time favorite web sites. Found it and my own blog. I thought Topix was pretty easy to use for identifying newsfeeds--I was searching for news stories about the python that appeared in a toilet. I thought for sure it had to be an urban legend, but discovered several newsfeeds about it by using Topix. Really happened in Brooklyn--no urban legend there! Couldn't make sense of Syndic8. What I liked about Feedster was the sponsored links, because no matter what topic I searched, I was overwhelmed by all the personal blog pages that showed up.
