As I browsed through the blog seraching tools listed, I was slightly overwhemed at the vastness of information available on any given topic. I can see where these searching tools would be VERY useful when looking for certain information. However, Iam afraid if I added very many to my RSS Reader list, I would get very little else done and spend most of my time reading feeds. But, that being said, I did find several of the searching tool useful.
1. Google Blog Search: I thought this was easy to use. I searched Caldecott award and came up with many interesting sites.
2. Blogline's search tool: the message came up. Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /search on this server.
3. Edublogs award winning sites: I loved this tool. I came up with a particularly intersting site to me on free techonlogy tools for teachers. Lots of good information to share with my staff. I liked this site also because the less helpful sites have been weeded out, saving me lots of time.
4. Topix.net: This was interesting but I found other search tools more helpful.
5. Syndicate8.com: I found this site extremely confusing to use.
6. Technorati: Although fairly easy to use, this search tool wasn't my favorite.
7. Blog Pulse: I tried searching with this tool and had some success. However, I don't think I personally, will have much need to track conservations.
After exploring all the serach tools listed, I found my favorites to Google Blog Search and Edublogs award wining sites. I know those two tools will be added to my toolbox.
