Thing #11

*Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use?

I found looking for the "conversationalist" in blogs was the easiest method to use to find feeds for my Google reader. A conversationalist blog is easy to read and relate to. They usually provide the best advice and easy to follow tips on how to accomplish tasks relating to the subject (e.g cooking).

*Which Search tool was the easiest for you?

Google blog search was the easiest. It gave me links that related to specifically what I wanted. It provided blogs and articles!

*Which was more confusing?

They were all pretty easy for me to understand, except for Syndic 8. When I typed in my keyword for searching I was linked to another website, and another website, and another website until I found what I was looking for. It's results were vague and I had to do a lot of revising of my search terms to find what I was looking for.

*What kind of useful feeds did you find in your travels?

I found 17andcooking, TravelMashUp, and LanguageWrangler !

*Or what kind of unusual ones did you find?

WorldofWierdthings and StrangeAnimals

*What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds?

I found that the more specific I was when searching with less words the more successful I was! For example instead of searching "What are some good tips learn spanish" I typed "tips learn spanish". I was provided with several useful sites on the subject.
