Thing #11


Technorati is a great way to research blogs. This website gives you options of how to research blogs. You can go to the blog directory and pick a topic and continue on from there. You can also go to the search bar to search for blogs or posts; you get to pick which one.  You are also able to look at the top 100 blogs and pick from that list. These are just a few of the way to search for blogs on this website.

You can also go to Google to search for blogs. I do not particularly this way of search blogs. You only have one way to search and it is in my opinion the least helpful and most overwhelming way to look for blogs. The site Topix seems very similar to Google. Neither site is very effective in helping find what you are looking for. Both bring up information based on the keyword, which in some cases it brings up sites that are against what you were looking up just because the keyword you typed was on the page.

The Technorati page was the easiest feed for me to use. I think it was easiest because if one search method was not working for you, you could search for your topic in one of the other methods. I like the method where you can search in a blog directory the best. Both Google and Topix were the search tools that I liked the least.
