In Search Of Worthy Blogs

It seems the quantity of blogs keeps on growing from day to day. It’s excellent. And the same time it’s terrible. The ratio between worthy and worthless blogs changes constantly. Suppose these changes are negative.

What are the ways to find some interesting content?

One of the most popular ways is visiting aggregating sites (joint blogs, catalogs of blogs) where there’s not so much content but a lot of links sorted and categorized. The main minus is that in some way you don’t choose what to read and to look. Everything is done for you. You see only what other people shows to you, what is interesting to the most of the audience. But the advantages of such sites trump the drawbacks. It’s a really great way to find nice blogs and sites quickly and surely.

The other method is searching by yourself, browsing and browsing lots of pages. The efficiency of this way is quite low, but the results may be fine. Blogger.com fit for exploring badly. That links in your profile (interests, movies, books) works poorly.

Still everything is not so bad :) Google provides a powerful tool for searching blogs at blogsearch.google.com. Use Advanced Blog Search page to tweak your queries and get incredible results.
