Thing 9: Useful Library Blogs

Again, the tool that actually gave me results was the Google blog search tool.  However it didn't return a huge amount of information, but then again I didn't spend a large amount of time looking as I already have a collection of library blogs that I follow.  Technorati was not user friendly at all and didn't seem to have things that were of interest to me.  Syndic8 had a main page that had a LOT of information on it and was difficult to navigate.  But most of the links that I chose were duds and the website doesn't seem to really be there anymore.

Doing a simple search for "library blogs" on Pinterest and narrowing it to boards with that title will get a large number of boards that are full of library blogs.  I find that these types of searches produce better results because the people using Pinterest are my kind of people and are searching for and using the same types of things I am.  Honestly I think that Pinterest is the new "Google" for many people and should not just be used to pin recipes for Oreo cheesecake :)
