Week 4 #9

Well, I took a stab at all of the feed / blog finding tools. I found that using the search tools was the easiest method for me to use in looking for blogs. The most confusing was Syndic8 because it was not as "polished" as the other tools. Perhaps this was due to the fact that it is an open directory of feeds submitted by users.

I was primarily searching for blogs about Tianjin, China, my wife's home town. Now Synndic8 DID find a blog about Tianjin that was under repair. It was not working. I thought this was interesting. But Technorait seemed to find the most blogs about Tianjin.

For news feeds, I find that it is most helpful to locate the feed icon located in the navigation bar of the particular site.
