Some people see dicks everywhere and in everything. I tend to ignore those people.
I look for things like odd clusters of swamps, mudflats, and grasslands. Also try to look "far enough away" you can see the general shape and layout of the nearby rivers and lakes and how they all connect (do they make a square, triangle, hexagon, etc). In Ender's, if you zoom out the minimap and expand the window, you can see what you've recently explored much easier. If you're using Ender's or one of the other clients with a map cache, you can open up that in the /map folder and look at what you've recently explored. There should be an html page you can open. That can help a lot. There's also a utility similar to what algeralith uses to make the world map to stitch the cached maps together.
