Discovery exercise #9: Finding Feeds
Technorati and other feed search tools are indispensible when trying to keep up with specific news topics. I have a few searches set up to track news about our library. Of course, ever since Learning 2.0, most of what gets snared by my search keywords are Learning 2.0 blogs by our own staff. But it's still great for catching a few outside-opinion nuggets and not-ready-for-primetime newsbits. For example, while scanning my Technorati feeds with the keyword "ImaginOn," I learned that Google Maps has updated its satellite imagery of Uptown Charlotte so that ImaginOn now appears. (I'm sure the latter was not the reason for Google Map's update, but how sweet of them anyway.)
