While searching through different search tools to find RSS feeds, I found one that I liked and one that I did not like. Google Blog Search is my favorite of all the ones I looked through. I was very organized and did not have a bunch of articles and information as soon as you go to start searching blogs. You can simply put in a keyword or words to search for information. I might have just-so-happened to like it more because I like anything that has to do with Google. It was the easiest of all the tools I have found.
Topix is a website with new feed about politics, the world, sports, and entertainment. It is very cluttered, and I didn't find much interest in it. It had a lot of stuff about politics on the homepage. Politics aren't really my forte, so it was annoying to me. Syndic8 was the most confusing to me. As soon as I had gotten on the site i didn't know what to do next. It wasn't put together very well either.
Overall, I really liked the Google Blog Search. I feel like it really is the way to go when you blog search because there are so many options as to what to choose from. The Google search engine itself is also a good way to find blogs. One blog I found through Google Blog Search was written by a 1st grade teacher named Kristen. I found the blog really useful. She blogged about things she did in the classroom and took pictures of all her classroom decorations. I really enjoyed it. You can also view the other blogs that she follows which is a good way to explore the blogging world through educational blogs.
