Week Four - RSS feeds

I've been out of action for a while so keen to catch up to where my colleagues are at with these exercises.
The RSS websites are varied and interesting. Feedstar wasn't available when I looked, but announced that it would be back with 'exciting news'.
Topix.net reminded me of the NZ Herald that I'd been scanning online an hour earlier. Probably because 'Auckland New Zealand' was the default subject. I typed in 'Invercargill' for some variety and got it. Certainly a good site if I was looking for 'newsy' information.
Syndica8.com appeared to be more wordy in comparison. I thought the layout of the site was fairly boring.
Lastly Technorati. Much more interesting. I found the vidoes I chose to watch very funny - a man making a perfect circle on a blackboard in something like 2 seconds, and then another similar, but disastrous attempt, accompanied by my favourite ukelele music. I'm amazed by what people post on these sites!
Occassionally I have difficulties, but overall the sites were easy to navigate.

Great work with the RSS search tools :) I hope you managed to find some good feeds to add to your RSS reader.
