Thing 5!

Out of the different ways to subscribe to sites, I like having the subscribe button on the toolbar of my web browser the best. It makes subscribing a lot more simple- you don't need to scroll through a site looking for the button or copy/paste anything. I wasn't crazy about the Google blog search, but I think that's just one more thing that gets easier the more you use it.

The most difficult part about this Thing was navigating Technorati at first... I couldn't find that "advanced search" we were supposed to click on. Once I gave up on that step, however, I found a lot of interesting blogs. I like how they have different rankings- top blogs overall, or which ones are moving up or down in the rankings, or that you can just search for whatever it is you're looking for. I found a number of blogs that were interesting to me both professionally and in my personal life. That's where the folders come in handy... everything isn't just listed all together. I try to incorporate a lot of science news into my classes, and this will help me find postings that are relevant much more easily.
