RSS & Newsreaders - Learning week 4

#9 (week 4)

Looked at some search tools: feedster, topix.net, syndic8.com, technorati. I found the technorati is easiest to use, because of easier to search for blogs, especially to seach for specific blogs. Feedster is more confusing, because of it is very large collections of RSS feeds, we can search for feeds in few categories, it is very confusing. Anyway, all these search tools are very useful for searching for feeds, blogs and so on.

My faviorite search tool: www.technorati.com

# 8 (week 4)

View my public Bloglines account:

RSS feeds is a revolutionalizing way to share information such as news, media, it is also changing the way everyday users are consuming information. I set up my own Bloglines account, and subsribed some feeds to it. There are lots of readings, and I found it was not difficult to do once I followed the instructions. The searching becomes much easier for me using my blogline. Added colleague's feeds, so enjoyed it.

RSS is changing how we receive info. Could you please post a link to your bloglines account (you'll need to change your profile settings to public first) and then I can credit you for number 8.

It seems a few steps have been missed - did you check out Flickr mashups for thing 6? Also I need for you to blog about something technology related for thing 7. :)
