Thing 11

Like most of the other "Thing 11" blog posts I've read, I found the Google Blog Search and Technorati the easiest to use. I use Google all the time so the layout was very familiar and easy for me. I liked the Technoranti blog finding tool because it separated the blogs into different categories. There was a category for business, entertainment, sports, politics and there was even one just for women! Syndic8.com was by far the most confusing. I didn't care for the layout and it didn't take long for me to give up on it.

I found the most useful and interesting blog on the Google Blog search. It's called Journeys of an Inspired Teacher. The blog is about a first grade teacher and he writes about his first year of teaching. The most unusual thing I found was on Topix.com. I searched k-6 education and a website about the New Whales Government came up. I noticed a lot of other random topics appearing when I searched on Topix.com.

I also found BlogPulse.com as a way to locate newsfeeds. Like the others, you just type keywords into the search box, explore and learn!

  1. New Whales Government? haha!
    But It sounds like you had the same results as me with the search engines. Google was my favorite by far and in the future it will probably be the only one I use.
