There is more than one way to find blogs to read about politics or other topics. A good starting place is the list of prominent conservative blogs and bloggers I provided in Lesson 2. Several search engines have been developed just for finding blogs:
- Addictomatic
- BlogPulse
- Blogged
- BlogScope
- Globe of Blogs
- Google Blog Search
- Icerocket
- surchur
- Technorati
- Trendpedia
- Twingly Blog Search
- Xanga.com
In addition, there is a list of Blog Search Engines at About.com.
Probably the two most popular blog search engines are Technorati and Google Blog Search. I recommend using Technorati. Here are some videos if you need help using these two blog search engines and surchur:
“How To Find Blogs in Any Category“
“surchur – The Web’s Ultimate Dashboard to ‘Now’“
I will be also be publishing and updating this information on a wiki. Future lessons will cover commenting on blogs and reading them using RSS feeds.
