Thing #11

*Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use?
To find feeds, I used Google Reader. This is a new process for me, but I didn't find it too difficult. Although, there may have been a simpler way. I decided to start my RSS using a search on early childhood. There were several as one could imagine, but I clicked on a few that seemed relevant.

 *Which Search tool was the easiest for you?
I found Google blog search to be the easiest for me. I am already so familiar with Google and its style that typing in my search and clicking "blog" instead of "web" was a piece of cake. Technorati took a touch for getting used to but I really liked using it after I realized how simple it was to find the blogs on subjects that I wanted to know more personally.

 *Which was more confusing?
I didn't really enjoy searching Topix.net. I found it to be too "busy" and confusing.

 *What kind of useful feeds did you find in your travels?
I found quite a few newsfeed on Google concerning early childhood. That is a subject I intend to keep updated on. More interesting to me though were the blogs I found created by actual teachers. I used both Google blog search and Technorati to search for blogs concerning Kindergarten. I found so many great ones.

 *Or what kind of unusual ones did you find?
I didn't come across any that I would consider to be unusual. I did find a blog entitled "Mr. Kindergarten" and browsed it for some time. It was fun to see the perspective of this age group from a male teacher since it is pretty uncommon.

 *What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds?
I did attempt to use Feedzilla but found it to be more trouble than it was worth.
