Week 4 - Exercise 9 - Newsfeeds
Had a look at the search tools, feedster, etc. Found topix.net easiest to use because of the ability to do a city search for news. Not that I don't like to know what is going on in the world, it can just simplify what I need to know at a particular point in time! In all honesty, I find some of the search tools just too overwhelming with information. I can't imagine ever having the time to spend on these things, so probably just take what I can out of it and that's it. But great knowing what I never knew existed! Technorati seems to have a strong US bias, but does have sub-headings that jump out at you and make the searching easy. Favourite search link below.

Yeah, I think alot of news sites have some sort of bias nowadays. Glad to see you tried everything out, maybe the new knowledge will come in handy one day! :)
