I've been using http://topix.net for quite a while now to locate quality feeds for various aggregation projects. I'm in the middle of testing some brand new software -- which I'll be reviewing here in a couple of days -- and I visited http://topix.net to look for some feeds for the project.

And lo and behold, what did I find? A whole new site design. I surfed around the site some looking around at the changes and enhancements, and I discovered a real little gem. I can't honestly say that this was not already a feature, but if it was I somehow missed it before. So if this ain't new to the rest of you kids, then forgive an old add riddled biker. ;)

What I found was http://www.topix.net/dir. This is a huge list of topics listed in a loose categorization on a single page leading to feed sets for each topic. scanning through it I have to say it's a great place to start if you are casting about trying to locate a new topic for a new report, blog, eBook or whatever.

Be sure to check out the topix.net directory to help do market research and find the perfect topic for your next project. It's almost like they intended it for use for marketing and market research, even though it's still pretty handy for bloggers chasing down the topic of their blog.

Just graze throughn the page and follow links to feed sets for topics that sound interesting to you. You're sure to find something to at the least point you off in a good direction for starting your new project.
