Online image generator

I sifted through The Generator Blog a little too long trying to find something interesing. The generators listed ranged from the really weird to the really useless. I finally just settled on the cereal box generator. It was easy enough to create.

8&9 - RSS feeds

I found it pretty simple to set up Bloglines and add feeds. I really should have set this up a long time ago since I have quite a few sites that I like to check up on a regular basis. Not only a timesaver, but it also gives me the opportunity to view similar feeds that I can add to my current list. Now I've got so many feed subscriptions I need to start organizing them into folders!

I looked over the feed finders and started with Syndic8. I threw in a few search terms, but the ones that looked interesting were awaiting repair. Most of the other feeds I waded through didn't hold much interest for me. Overall I wasn't too impressed with Syndic8. Topix's Offbeat News feed was interesting but didn't find much more worth subscribing to. Feedster was easy to browse through, but again, I didn't find much. For Technorati, I noticed that when the results of my initial search were brought up, it went straight to a heap of blog postings, not necessarily the most relevant. When I clicked on the blogs tab, I found several relevant blogs to my subject, so I much preferred this to the postings tab.

I also found that Google Reader allows you to easily search for feeds.

Despite browsing over the above feed sites, the most useful feeds I found was through the related feeds link provided on Bloglines. It was probably the quickest and easiest for me.
