Week 4 Library Blogs and Feeds

This week we have to find something from the RSS that are related to library (blogs or feeds). This is a very interesting task for me.

Apart from doing searches on bloglines for keywords like "library" and "technology", I manage to do a search from another search engine called topix, i think i did two searches, one for the library, and the other on oil price. Guess the hit rates of the two during the past months? (There are statistics to see)

Search for "Library":





Search for "Oil Price":





The other thing I have done is a google reader search, and I put the result on "photography" on my blog (right pane) as well. Thanks to the neighbor blogger of ACL. I think I have learnt a lot of stuff from them too..

There are some other interesting features such as forums in topix where people can read, talk and edit news. It's like a real community. I also search from blogs to podcast for a keyword on other search engines too I found them very hard to use:

• Feedster
• Syndic8.com
• Technorati
