Week 4 Task9: Locate library related blogs& news feeds

I've tried a few search tools: Blogline, Feedster, Topix.net, Syndic8.com and Technorati. They have their own characters which is different from each other.

Bloglines, Topix.net, Technorati and Feedster are great sites and they are more friendly and attractive, also they are easy to use. Especially, Topix and Technorati have great interfaces. e.g. in Topic.net, there are "Top picks" on the top and list some hot topics with little pictures to show what are happening now. I don't like the designs of Syndic8 and Feedster. The home page of Syndic8 is so dull and not appealing. Feedster looks more like a personal blog than a public one.

When I tried to search information by them, I found that Bloglines and Technorati seems can find the results more relevantly than others; the search options in Feedster, Topix.net and Syndic8 were not always that relevant, also there were rather strange stuff sppeared in the websites. Therefore, I think that Bloglines is the best search tool, which can give us the information more accurate and relevant.
