This week on Learn 2.0 we got introduced to Bloglines and Grokker. Bloglines is a really nice, FREE service that lets you get RSS feeds. Bloglines has a great list of feeds to chose from. Some of the feeds I got were Engadget, PC magazine, Nature, and the OCLS's Orange Slices. I like that all this info comes to me at one location, instead of going from web site to web site. The RSS feeds kinda remind me of a magazine subscription. Grokker is
a great search engine. Unlike other sites Grokker gives you options on how you view your search results like, Outline View and Map View. I did my search on robots and the Outline View gave me great list of web sites broke down into categories, like robots in news, movie robots, robot collections, and more. The Map View put my search results in a group of category circles containing tabs with page links. Each circle also had layers. Entering a category circle kinda reminds me of digging through a file cabinet.. it was kinda neat but I prefer the Outline view. Well that's all for now, Hope all you blog readers out there have fun!
