Finding Feeds

Loved the first line of assignment #8, "You've heard of RSS?".

Well, I hadn't, glad to hear that I was in the majority though. Made me feel a little better to know I wasn't the only one out there. So, now that I completed the assignment, am I in the minority since I know what it is now? Now I understand that it is a way of getting up to date info off the web. But, instead of looking all over for it, it can be found in one place. I had seen newsfeed icon before, but never knew what they were. I just figured they where another advertisement of some sort.

Checked out the search tools for finding feeds. Liked Feedster and Topix the best. They were the easiest to use and seemed to be more for a beginner or novice like myself. Did not care for Syndic8 or Technorati. I found them very confusing and were not as easy to use. They appeared to be much more technical. I enoyed Feedsters " Feed of the Day". The "Feed of the Day" was "One Sentence". Loved it, most were quite humorous. Liked how Topix could be modified to the area in which you live.
