Week 4, Thing 9

#9 Explore MERLIN and then locate a few other useful library-related blogs and/or news feeds

Okay, I tried to browse through Merlin's educational content... but of course the Gaming, Avatars, Virtual Worlds is what appealed to me. So I spent my time making meez. These little avatars are so much fun to make!



But back to work. I tend to use Technorati for most of my blog/rss searches. I want to find more blogs/rss/websites featuring good reviews of graphic novels, anime and manga. So far I've found:

~ Govel - A UK site that reviews Graphic Novels and Manga

~ Newsarama - A site mostly for comic books and graphic novels

~ Between the Staples - another comics blog
