Week 4 :

Feedster: The site is introduced as a research assitant. I searched for Kim Jong Il, the North Korean leader, and got News (217 hits), Blogs (2969 hits), and Podcasts (2 hits). I then typed George W. Bush in the search box, and I got News (1566hits),blogs (37573 hits), and Podcast (10 hits). Through this short experiment I could see that blogs are very popular nowadays.

Syndic8.com: I clicked on News, podcasts, tags .... I didn't find this website very interesting.

Topix.net: This site is amazing. You can read the world news, local area news, and you can also share your thoughts via the Topix.net forum, and comment on the news. When I searched for New York in the United State, it showed an "interactive graph", which provides for dates. Users can click on a certain date on that graph and access the news on New York published on the date of choice. I liked this site very much.
