Thing #9

• Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use? Google Blog Search where you did a keyword search to find a feed was the easiest to use. Also looking at the blog rolls of trusted colleagues like Vaughn made it easy to find a feed of interest.
  
• Which Search tool was the easiest for you? Google Blog Search since I chose that as my news reader or any other tool that has a keyword search option.
  
• Which was more confusing? A top 100 list that did not offer a detailed description of the blog's content was more time consuming to sort through and was not user friendly.
  
• What kind of useful feeds did you find in your travels? Or what kind of unusual ones did you find? Library2Play or any feeds on Vaughn's page were great. Many sites were confusing because of all the ads that made it hard to find the information. There's just not enough time to really check out all the blogs, so I'll use my resources in our district and check with my fellow librarians to find out what they found useful and not reinvent the wheel.
  
• What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds? Asking family and friends and discovering through conversations with others what news feeds they find useful. Also my wonderful supervisor who updates us through emails and monthly meetings.
