Using search tools to locate RSS feeds

Well, this was mostly a bust for me. Bloglines search tools were pretty easy and intuitive to use but I really didn't think much of all the other ones. Feedster was not up when I tried to access it. Technorati seems like much ado about nothing to me. You still have to follow the link to each news item to get the feed (unless I missed something) and they don't even cite the source unless you go into the detailed screen. I kind of liked Topix.net 'cause the news items were local but, as above, I still had to follow each link for each news item in order to get the feeds.

I think what I would do would be to go to Web sites that I use frequently to get news and get the feeds directly from there. These aggregators are not my cup of tea.
