#9 Finding Feeds

Now that I have started using my Googlereader account again I decided to search for some feeds to add to my account.

I tried Topix.net first. I like it. I like all the topics you could read about. But it seems more like a collection of feeds to scan then a place to find feeds to subscribe to. I am interested in finding out information about last night’s episode of Survivor. I found lots of fun info to read but so far nothing to subscribe to. (BTW: I am happy that Charlie went home last night.)

Then I used bloglines search tool. Again I like it because you can reach many entries about the same topic. I think that is what I like most about these tools so far; they allow you to read many blogs about the same idea (in this case last night’s episode of Survivor).
Then I tried out Technorati. The same thing. I liked it for searching all the feeds on a particular topic.

I am still not completely convinced that I will continue reading my google reader account. I am still very pro I-Google. What I like about is that you can interigrate feeds with other things you are looking in. It is a homepage. I like my feeds to be ephemeral. I want them to go away on their own after a few days if I don’t read them. I don’t want to have them pile up if I decide I don’t want to pay attention to them for a while. I want them to be like the headlines on a newspaper, here today gone tomorrow.
