Links: discovering and following key social media resources for a given topic

In my introductory article on RSS, I mentioned that fundamental to a good information diet is following the right sources. Here’s an article on ReadWriteWeb that shows you a method on how to do just that: find the top blogs for a given topic (niche). It compares different ranking systems for blogs.

Once you’ve read that, you might want to check out this other article, which builds on the first one and shows you how to find the most relevant knowledge the set of results you’ve come up with. In essence, it uses AideRSS’ PostRank to find the best articles in the list of blogs you’ve come up with, and shows you how to use Google Custom Search to build a custom search engine that searches only those top sites you’ve found.
