For searching new blogs Technorati is the best option.

Found a good blog through IceRocket. I’ll have to try that one out again sometime.

Blogpulse worked a bit better, but again didn’t bring up much that I wanted to read.

I have much more success in finding good ballroom blogs by exploring the blogrolls of other bloggers I admire. Saves me some winnowing.

GoogleNews doesn’t seem to connect me to blogs. Mostly news articles. Not bad, but nothing I feel the need to subscribe to.

So I went to Technorati and, per your instructions, typed in a key term of interest to me: “ballroom dancing.” I wasn’t all that surprised to find that not much is being said about ballroom dancing in the blogosphere. At least not in the blogosphere that Technoarti cares about. Most of what I found centered on Dancing with the Stars: speculation about Bristol Palin and her famous mom, rumors about backstage hookups, who had most recently been eliminated… Not content terribly relevant to what I was hoping to find.

I know the assignment said to subscribe to a few of these, but I just can’t bring myself to do so.

There are LOTS of great ballroom dance blogs out there. I subscribe to a lot of them. Technorati is still in the dark about them, however.

Now to try BlogPulse, IceRocket and Google News.

I use Technorati and Google. What one misses the other grabs.
