I like to put the SAME SEARCH CRITERIA in different SEARCH ENGINES and see what pops up. This weekend, I’ve been playing around with A9.COM and I’m finding all sorts of new and interesting sites. A9 uses Google, Amazon and several other sources to perform a sort of dogpile-style, metacrawler search. Since, the quest for new information sources is the heart and soul of blogging, I was pleased to find new things with this engine. (In particular, I’m always searching for sites with the latest production information and the latest buzz on recently completed films.)

A cluster of weblogs about film, filmmaking, computing, digital photography and networking kept popping up on A9. I spent quite a bit of time reading Weblogsinc.Com’s Documentary Films, Independent Films, Digital Photography, Digital Music, Design and Art Blogs. There was something interesting on each of those sub-sites.

Several of the usual stand-bys popped up. Sites like DocumentaryFilms.Net, HotDocs.Com, IMDB Indies, Assn. of Indie Video & Filmmakers, IFILM and IndieWire. Great resources for filmmakers. Happy researching!
