At the end of exploring the various blog search tools I counted up the number of library related blogs or RSS feeds that I had added to my reader and the total came to 9! I personally enjoyed using Google's Blog Search, but I think that may be due to the fact that I'm familiar with the Google format. I can see how Technorati would be really useful, but for this Thing I found it to be a bit overwhelming. I'm also a sucker for the "Best of" lists, so the Edublog's Award Winners list was a great find. I love it when a reliable source has done all of the dirty work sifting and sorting through the the mass of blogs out there to find the best of the best. In addition to locating personal blogs, I also found quite a few professional blogs to subscribe to. Here are a few to check out:
1. AASL: http://www.aasl.ala.org/aaslblog/
2. ALSC: http://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/
3. School Library Journal: http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/1340000334.html?nid=3714
