# 9 Finding feeds

The tools for finding feeds make life so much easier. Setting up my initial RSS feeds I used the search tool in Bloglines, and also a general Google search which was a bit hit and miss.
The image for RSS feeds that is used on pages to indicate that you can subscribe to feeds is great as it enables you to instantly recognised feeds. I had not realised that Google had a specific blog search tool, and I was amazed to find blogs on obscure topics like "Spirelli" which is a craft I discovered just recently. Technorati was also quite easy to use. Topix looked good for news and media information if you want to keep up to date in those areas, but from my quick look it would appear that it is fairly heavily American orientated.
