Thing 9 Blog Search

The easiest tool for me to use was Technorati. It has a directory and advanced search which is easy to use. I found an interesting and useful blog: Omnivoracious (an amazon blog).

The others were not so useful for me. Bloglines returned 28,000 results -too many to go through so I would need to narrow my search considerably. Edublogs just was voting for nominated blogs. You have to search out the blog as there were no links. The one that looked interesting to me ended up being a political blog and not a library blog as advertised. So that turned me off right there. The others seemed geared toward older students and seemed more useful for middle and high school teachers, librarians, and students.
