Thing #14: Wasting Time in the Blogosphere

I can't say that Blogs strike me as the most edifying aspect of Web 2.0, but they certainly are entertaining. How else would I have found out about Susan Boyle? Once I settled down and actually completed the assignment, I did find some sites pertinent to Biology education, but most of them were free videos and lectures, rather than blogs per se. As far as using the various modes of searching, the "Tag" feature was the most helpful for finding blogs specific to Science. The "Technorati Tour" video was a little aggravating because (as far as I could tell) the current homepage does not match the one used as a demo on the video, making it impossible to actually follow along.
