Thing 10: Useful newsfeeds/blogs

I explored Feedster and Topix for RSS feeds.
Feedster i found confusing and too busy to follow.
Topix was spaced and organized in a more readable manner.
I liked the major headings at the top of the page on Topix. If i clicked on a
heading it would lead me to pertinent feeds related to that top heading.
While looking in the sports feeds i saw in bright orange at the top of the page
"BREAKING NEWS: Magnitude 7.3 Earthquake Rocks Eastern Caribbean".
When i clicked on that for more info there were lots of blogs from people there or trying
to find out what happened. Then there was a graph w/seismic activity plotted on various areas
in Eastern Caribbean.
Very interesting.
