One thing I experienced during this activity was the ability to find RSS Feed logo with my right mouse button (See Thing 10, as I updated my comment there). Anyway, I did like the Edublog's award winners, especially as a novice to RSS feeds, because it gave suggestions that obviously had enough good points to rate the award. I would imagine as I get more comfortable with this technology, and even more so get hooked on blogs and news feeds that would hold my interest, I would learn to search beyond the top rated. Topix and Technorati, though not giving "award winners" in categories, do provide a quick and easy way to find some feeds. I thought Topix was a little too busy with all the information, and though that may be a plus for some people, it was overwhelming still for my ADD brain. For the same reason as Edublog, I did like both these sites over just doing a google search on an item of interests, which provided way too much variation in types of sites.
I think the thing I will like most about this technology will be when something comes up that I want to learn more about. I will be able to add a number of blogs or news feeds on that topic and then be able to read/learn over the course of a couple days or weeks, learning more than I might if I had just done a single search on any given day. When I am done with that item, I can delete it so that it doesn't "clutter up my brain", so to speak.
