What I noticed right off was how entertainment outdid all the other categories. Of course, business, sports and politics being the next three contenders didn't surprise me. But I was extremely disappointed to see there was no category for education by itself. However, this experience wasn't a total waste as you will now see in the next paragraph. When I checked out the "Living" category, it had several thousand hits, but would you believe, of the 9 sub-categories, "family" received the 2nd fewest hits - only 459. What a shame!
It was quite interesting typing in the term "education" for both blogs and blog postings and seeing what came up. I got 50 items for each entry, but what I got was very different. I much prefered the information I got on the blog postings. This took me to some very intersting, specific items. Then I tried using the word school libraries. I found a wonderful post to an interactive jam session where people were posting back and forth comments about the Google Map site where it shows where school libraries have been cut. Most interesting to read comments from people, especially those who don't know what they are talking about. I finally had to leave the site because it was making me a little upset. Here's the link if you are intersted:
