Thing 11

I hate to sound monotonous with everyone else’s choice of search engine, but Google Search has been and always will be my main search engine. Google is the easiest search tool for me to use. In addition, once I tried Google blogs it has deepened my appreciation for Google. I typed in classroom management and got an overwhelming amount of feeds with effective classroom management techniques. It is simple and always leads me in the right direction.
I was pleasantly surprised by Topix.net. Once I clicked on the site it automatically picked up my location. Instantly I had news in front of me about the area I live in. It even had a poll going about the presidential election. It showed who people voted for how many people in my area had voted and compared it to the national poll. I thought the current news was useful. I am not up to date on current news and it was nice to learn about a site that gave that to me.
I also used Technorhati to find blogs. I like it because I could search be tags or subject area. I found that it be easy and resourceful in the results.
Honestly, Syndic8.com was unusual and confusing. Once I started clicking around and searching I could not even find my way back to its homepage. I tried to explore and learn how to use it, but got frustrated. I thought it would be a great way for me to find a website with RSS because I could not find many with the icon. I am still confused. If anyone has any suggestions, just leave me a comment. :)
