#9 Finding Feeds

I tried some of the suggestions in the Learning 2.0 Finding Feeds exercise, with mixed but fruitful results:

• Searching through Feedster, Topix.net and Syndic8 just seemed too time-consuming to me, and I didn't find a lot of things I cared about enough to set up a feed for.
  
• I liked Technorati because it featured blogs, music and other stuff I was interested in. Also the website is fairly simple and easy-to-use, and the popular page shows the items that were top-rated by Technorati users, which saves me from having to slog through a bunch of junk to find the good stuff.
• The Bloglines Search Tool was OK because it was basically like using a web search engine (I suspect it was actually) so I would use it if I was already logged into Bloglines and wanted to browse for more feeds.
• I really just prefer to look for the news feed icons when I am already at a site I like. Something really useful that I learned from Athens (Ohio) Woman is that if you are using the Firefox browser, you can just go to the URL address bar and click the RSS icon.
