RSS




Having a gmail, and google account, I already had an automatically created google reader.
I wanted an RSS feed on wildlife, but couldn't find one I really liked.
I have recently discovered podcasts, and look forward to exploring those I have subscribed to regarding buddhism.
I do think that there are too many options - too many sites to create and maintain and remain uptodate with. It ties people to the computer more. I like the fact that on my google account, I can access my email, reader, youtube and blog. It is good to have a central hub.
What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?
It is a self-tailored, easily digested selection of current information.
What sites did you select for your RSS reader?
SMH, NY Times, Choice online, Powerhouse museum and free buddhist audio podcasts, although I don't think this is actually a feeder?
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work?
To ensure you are kept up to date with relevant new developments/technologies/information.
How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?
Have their own RSS, have links to other relevant RSS.
Did you find any good examples of other library, or other relevant, blogs?
Not yet.
