Finding feeds

My problem is weeding, not discovery! Too many blogs, too many feeds. Along with the classics (shifted, stuff, researchbuzz) I like It's All Good (http://scanblog.blogspot.com/) and Catalogblog (http://catalogablog.blogspot.com/) for their interesting mixes of content.

I played with Feedster for a while, and it seems like it is mostly commercial or borderline spam. I played with topix for a while (new to me) and found some interesting local material. Local is the big kahuna that nobody has really cracked, despite billions of dollars spent trying.

Another find today was Google Blogsearch - http://blogsearch.google.com/ - which I had read about but never used. It turned up quite a few interesting blog articles about things happening around town, and very little commercial cruft. Funniest (saddest?) was South Florida Housing Bubble ( http://www.soflahousing.com/ ) documenting pain in the local real estate market. 50% off peak prices? Ouch.
