wowsa! i never thought i could spend so much time on the internet! coming into the rss feeds area of learning 2.0, i was hoping i wouldn't get so lost i'd never get back home. one of my friends (who is very good with computers) said even they were a bit confused. so of course, right away, i think i am in biiig trouble. but alas, this lesson was so much fun for me, right away i found about 20 feeds and 3 fellow staff to add to my bloglines account. woot woot! this morning, i could take it no longer and had to get back online (from home, no less!) and find more more MORE information! part 2 of week 4 said to add a few more, so indeed, i followed directions (as i of course always do!) and added oh...another 32 feeds. it is now apparent to me that i have no life. LoL.
i tended to find that using the "quick pick subscriptions" tab on bloglines was not the best method. yes, i did manage to find a few items there, but quite a few that i tried came back with "no feeds were found"- so instead i just jotted down what i wanted and did a search by feeds instead. i found a plethora of items that way. i think it was easiest to do the searches than going to different sites, only because i was unaware of all the sites existing about HOCKEY, my one true love.
i would have to say the easiest search tool was bloglines. i did manage to find a couple of great hockey blogs through Google Blog Search. think i will stay away from the feedster and topix.net sites- a bit confusing for me.
in my discovery exercise, i cheated. 2 of my additions were from the kcls27things suggestion, as i wasn't able to find any library themed sites that interested me enough to want to read them. no unusual feeds found today!
bring on myspace! woot woot!
