Feeding Frenzy -- Discovery Exercise

We were asked to view the following search tools for feeds: Feedster, Topix.net, Syndic8.com.
I prefer using http://www.technorati.com/ and http://www.rssmicro.com/.


Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use?
They all have their uses...it is just a matter of preference. I like rssmicro because it easily sets up the RSS feed for bloglines (no need to copy and pase URL). This site and technorati have some form of ratings which can be of use.

Which Search tool was the easiest for you? Which was more confusing?
As soon as I checked Topix, I checked out. I don't like the search function/results.

What kind of useful feeds did you find in your travels?
I actually only started doing library related rss today. Previously, I was doing PC gaming and RPG gaming...and if you check my blogline you could see what I found...I have a folder for all.

What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds?
http://www.rssmicro.com/
