I want that damn MP3 player, and so I'm going to finish this!!!
Bloglines searching was pretty amazing, and seemed really comprehensive in the things it covers.
I added more feeds to my bloglines using that and Technorati.
Originally I tried to get in to Feedster, but I kept getting a connection error, so I gave up.
Technorati was my favourite though. It felt the easiest to search, and I liked the layout. I searched the blogs for 'Library NZ', and found the blog of a guy I emailed once or twice during library school, which was cool. But I was surprised that was the only one I found that looked like a personal blog. To be honest, the personal blog is really my area of interest here, I prefer reading about some person in the same industry as me hanging out with friends, than long spiels about their opinions on the dewy decimal system.
I'm amazed and overwhelmed by the sheer number of blogs that are out there, about all sorts of, if not every topic under the sun. I was laying about in bed the other day and I was reading BBC news on my mobile phone's RSS feed section, and feeling very technologically savvy.
General opinion, I think that RSS feeds are not for me, because you lose the joy of discovery a little. I enjoy the way I find blogs to read and sites that I enjoy, which is often from a random Google search, or by clicking the links from a site I like and seeing where it takes me.

Good job on starting up again - you can do it!
It's amazing how something as personal as an online diary has turned into such an important tool for so many businesses.
