Feeding Frenzy

This was my homework for this week. We have been exploring "bloglines" and this is what we had to do:

Discovery Exercise:
1) Explore some of the search tools noted above that can help you locate some news feeds.
2) Create a blog post about your experience. Don't know what to blog about? Here some questions to think about ...

a) Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use?
b) Which Search tool was the easiest for you?
c) Which was more confusing?
d) What kind of useful feeds did you find in your travels?
Or what kind of unusual ones did you find?
e) What other tools or ways did you find to locate news feeds?

Here are my results to the questions that were given to us:

1) When you first get your account, they give you a list that you can chose from and this method was by far the best and easiest thing to do.
2) Regarding the search tool's; I didn't like most of them. They all seem to have something to do with celebrities. Now don't get me wrong, I like to know what they are up to but not all the time.
3) The most confusing was "feedster". If you just wanted to look around to get a feel of the site, you had to put in a subject. I really didn't have a subject I wanted to play with it.
4) The most useful feeds were the feeds that I received when I applied to the site. And the most nusual feed that I found (not really unusual, just uninteresting) was The African-American Forum. Now don't get me wrong - it seemed nice enough but the things that they were talking about, My goodness!!! Example: "ghetto gaggers, nude pics of the baddog? Really people, come on!!! Can't we find something more intellectual to talk about?
5) Regarding news feeds: the ones right on bloglines were the best ones. You could get any news feeds from all over the world. I really liked the ones that you can get from England. I love to get news from the BBC (just to see what is going on over there!)

This "Homework" assignment took me a longer time to complete because there are so many things going on at my branch that I really haven't had the time to do it. With the new QL Chat, and the new duties that I have just been given I am pulling my hair out.;) (not really. I think I'm good under pressure).
Anyway here is my photos of my branch. I hope you all enjoy them and come and see me some time.:)
