I went through several of the different blog search sites and found that there is a big difference in quality and quantity of information that was available. The speed that was available from various sites was an issue for me. I am at my family's lake house and have to use a dial-up server and Feedster does not like the slow speed of dial up at all and times out repeatedly. Technorati was okay but the results were very narrow and limited in number. By far my favorite site to use was Google Blog Search, although I often got hits that seemed to have nothing to do with what I was searching.
I searched Advanced Algebra and came up with a huge network of teachers that are having some of the same issues in their classrooms that I am having and it was interesting to see some of the different solutions that they have come up with to keep seniors motivated and moving forward in a college level math class. In the future, I will probably limit my searching to Google Blog, it is more intuitive than the others that I tried out.
