Thing # 11 Feeds

Google is by far the easiest search tool for finding feeds. Google has an unfair advantage over all the other sites, the advantage is familiarity. Almost everyone has used some application that Google has designed. The common use of Google makes it by far the most user friendly. Google also breaks down the feeds into categories more clearly than the other sites. Syndic8.com was the most confusing site, the lack of links to specific categories also made it an inferior search tool for feeds. The feed I found most interesting was title "My God Joe," which was basically a gossip site for current events. Alot of search engines will take you to news feeds if you just type in a specific subject. Many of the results of search engines end up being some type of news feed.
