Thing #11

The easiest method of finding feeds for me was through Google Reader. I used this previously to subscribe to several feeds that interested me. All you have to do is enter a search word and all the feeds associated with it will pop up. Just click on subscribe and you got it. Out of the search tools listed on 23 things, I think the easiest search tool was Topix.net. It was very easy to follow and move around in. It was in this site that I found Paula Dean's blog page and a blog page all about Erin, TN. This is where I am from and it is a very little town!!! The most confusing search tool for me was Syndic8. It's home page contained multiple lists and I could not get anything from this site to load correctly on my PC. I soon gave up on this one. The most unusual feed I found was from a blog called Damn Interesting. It is full of articles about tiny bits of information that is very interesting stuff. You would never find this by doing a search for the information itself. I was drawn to a post about the seven abandoned cities and places in Asia. This blog contains information about anything and nothing at all. It was great. I also did a search for keywords on Google and once I found a site that looked interesting I checked to see if it had the feed icon. If it didn't I still got to look at something interesting!
