Week 4, Thing #9

My favorite RSS search tool is Syndic8 because it tells you the status of the site, either "Awaiting Repair" or "Syndicating". Very helpful, so you don't waste your time going to one that is not currently working. I thought it was interesting that there is a huge difference is results depending on your search term; for example, I searched "library" and got 814 hits, but only 85 hits when I typed in "libraries". One of the blogs I found with Syndic8 was "Libraryman". It is a very modern, trendy site for librarians. It is very interactice, requesting viewers to send in photos for projects that are currently being worked on.
