Thing #11

I mentioned in my previous post that I found the RSS feed tool difficult and confusing to use.  I thing I may have to change my opinion. The Google blog search was the easiest to use.  It was not as confusing as technorati.  I found that technorati would search for a blog, but I had to click on different links until I got to the blog itself.  I don't know if there was an easier way, but Google gave me the links directly after I click the search button.  I found several different feeds.  I enjoy reading the news.  I hardly watch television during the week anymore so I have to get my news through the internet.  I read several different websites (CNN, Yahoonews, USA Today, etc) and the RSS feed tool helps me save some time. 
I added a blog that centers around a favorite book series, The Wheel of Time.  Since I check this website often I figure it could give me incentive to use the RSS feed.

I recently began a new hobby and the RSS feed tool can help me learn and keep up-to-date.  I have begun to flintkapp (creating stone tools like arrowheads) and I found a few blogs created by fellow flintkappers.  It surprises me that someone who is interested in a hobby that uses the most primitive means to make tools would actually have a blog describing how to do this activity.  On second thought I shouldn't really be surprised since I myself belong to that group!
