RSS feeds...

RSS feeds are not new to me - I actually already have a google reader... though I don't use it that often - I suffer from information overload, or not enough time...

I opened up my own Bloglines and posted 15 feeds. Some of them are news, some on literature, others are blogs. The Powerhouse Museum blog is also there - full of interesting photos.

Questions answered:

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?
- Convenience of having news come in as it is written.
What sites did you select for your RSS reader?
- Too many! 15 for the moment. BBC, Arts... etc.
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work?
- At work it could come in handy if I want to know about something specific like the latest books released.
How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?
- Libraries can use it to make sure user's are up to date with the events and other happenings at the library.
Did you find any good examples of other library blogs?
Haven't presently got the time (at work) to look into others... sorry!

Apologies for my rather dry blog today... I don't have much time on my hand.
