Thing # 9: Finding Feeds
One source I consult when I’m looking for new websites on a topic I’m unfamiliar with is DMOZ.org, the Open Directory Project. They bill themselves as “the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a passionate, global community of volunteer editors.” It’s like the old school version of delicious, created in a pre-tag world wehre people actually had to annotate stuff the found on the web if they wanted to share things with others.
I have found some pretty good blogs there, just by typing “weblogs” into the search box. It comes back with categories, and you can drill down from tehre. Of particular interest to those in Libraryland may be the Library Science category. I like this as a source because the entries have a one or two line annotation that can sometimes provide more information than a collection of tags.
