Week 4: #9 Finding Feeds

I looked at all of the tools in the discovery exercise. Technorati was my favorite of the tools. In general terms, I would not use the feed finders too often because I have certain news sites I regularly visit, and I am not a big consumer of blog information. However, when I am looking for opinion on a new topic, Technorati was right there as a very useful tool.

Week 4: #8 Make life "really simple" with RSS and a newsreader

It has been a while, but I am back. Set up a Bloglines account and subscribed to several feeds, mainly sports and literature and HCPL photos. Pretty easy.
