Well, my first try was not successful since Feedster is temporarily down. Topix.net was interesting since you can narrow your searching to local news quite easily. I was able to look up several recent local events that I wanted more information on. Although, since I get the Murfreesboro Post online each day by email, I’m not sure how often I would use it. I didn’t have as much luck in locating book reviews, but maybe I was just too tired to look in the right place! Syndic8.com was not my favorite—it seemed to be more confusing than the others, but I plan to go back and give it another shot. I found a little more on Technorati. I was able to find some great knitting patterns that I want to try out. I tried to use the Technorati tutorial but it kept going to a blog that was all in German (I think it was German—it certainly wasn’t English!).
I think I really need to go back over most of this whole concept because I feel like I’m missing a piece to the puzzle. I understand the idea of having updated information all in one place—I understood Bloglines (I think) and have several different things constantly coming through, but these other sites were not as easy to maneuver. I have seen the RSS feed logo on several sites that I visit regularly, so I think I just have to keep playing around with this particular area of the “24 things”.
I have to say this has been a really interesting project to work through. I have definitely expanded my horizons in the technology field. I think it will be something that I have to constantly continue to explore and will probably never fully grasp.
