Oops! I did my progress log already but I missed the second part of the RSS & Newsreader. Well, I did that today and just like before there's a lot to look at, read, and do. I can't seem to keep up with all these feeds. I subscribed to a couple of news sites and everyday or two I go in and look at my bloglines account and I will have about 20 or more updates for each feed. There's way too much information but with the feed updates I just look at the new stuff that I want to look at and be done with it. That's the cool part.

Anyways, I used the RSS search tools to search my interest of knitting and it brought up a lot of things. Interesting fact that I found while searching the subject, knitting, was that a lot of knitting bloggers are located in Australia. That was weird. I think that Blogline's search tool was the easiest tool to use. It kept it simple. Feedster is another nice one to use with the 3 different mode to search by. I really like Topix's "find your news" by entering your city and state. It makes searching for local news easy. Google Blog search was kinda like Blogline's search but you can use it for regular Google searches too. I however didn't like Syndic8.com because there was so much info in their site that it get's too confusing. I like it simple. Give me a search box and let me at it. Hopefully I will find what I need.

Finally, I'm done with this lesson. On to Myspace which I have dread about.
