Thing 9

I didn't have too much of a problem finding a number of interesting feeds, although I noticed that, to view the NY Times Book Review feed, you have to subscribe to their site. According to them, it's free, but I can't help wondering if this is a sneaky way to get me on more e-mailing lists.
As far as the other search tools for finding feeds/blogs, I did a search using the term "public libraries". The search on Feedster resulted in quite a few hits, but most all were barely related to the topic. It reminded me of a Google search. Syndic 8's search resulted in only 4 hits, and two were simply the home pages of library systems. Topix was very confusing, in that it appears you can search only via a geographic area. Although, I must say, I found a nice feed in the area where my grandparents, aunts, uncles and parents lived. Technocrati turned out to have the most productive results. Specifically, I found a great blog from a children's librarian in Florida.
