Thing #9

I found the easiest search tool was Google Blog Search. I think the main reason I liked it best is because I have gotten used to the way Google sets things up; but I also liked it because it seemed to lead me to more relevant connections than any of the other ones. Bloglines came in second -- I liked how it let you rank results by popularity -- but the dancing dots on the home page were very distracting.

The School Library Blogs on Suprglu confused me. Unless I missed it, there was no table of contents or search rectangle to help with any kind of search. Topix was downright frightening.

The Edublog's Award winners link is great! It would take days to go through all of the nominees' blogs, but I already got some good ideas by clicking on just a few of them. I have subscribed to Latest Activity on Projects by Jen and Techlearning (recommended by the Cool Cat Teacher blog).

The most unusual feed I came across was Dave Walker's blog called Dullestblog.com. He claims it is the dullest blog in the world, and he may be right. When I visited the blog, the most recent post was about putting pencils in a drawer. Believe it or not, there were 292 responses to that post. My favorite response was, "And I thought my blog was boring. Yours actually had me in a coma since Friday."
