Nebraska Learns 2.0: Finding feeds

I can't say that I was overwhelmingly impressed with any of the feed finding tools listed. Google Blog Search was probably the best, but its search function worked better for finding terms within individual blog posts than for finding blogs with a specific overall theme. Still, with carefully chosen search terms and a little sifting through search results, it's possible to find some worthwhile blogs.

I found the interfaces of the other tools cluttered and non-intuitive, though Topix.net should do nicely if general news blogs are what you're looking for.

There's no shortage of feeds out there to be found through conventional Web sites, though, if you keep an eye out for the usual feed icons while you're visiting sites of interest to you.
