When I first opened Syndic8, I found it too confusing. When something overwhelms me, my brain shuts down. It refused to make sense of Syndic8. I tried exploring the site later, and it made a little more sense, but I won't be using it. Topix linked me to Sun-Sentinel articles for the local section. I will have to play around with these sites more until I feel comfortable with them.
