RSS Feeds
Hmm... I think I understand all this but its going to take some time to get my mind around it. I knew and know what RSS feeds are but how they could be useful to me and the library is another story. I like to keep up with the news -- usually look at cnn.com -- so I could use RSS feeds to update me on anything "new" in the news. I was thinking that I could make the RSS feeds come up on my blog -- sorta like a sideline of info, but now I'm thinking that I have to go into bloglines to see it. Between checking my home email, my work email, checking through 4 homework folders, checking my bank account, checking CNN, listening to NPR all day and reading the AACPL memos, I think I'm pretty FULL on info. :) I'm not sure yet how going into bloglines would become a habit. But, heck, I kept an open mind back in 1995 when the Internet was all about Golfer and telneting and it sure did pan out!

I have spent a few months testing out some RSS feeds and I think that I prefer just going to my favorite bookmarked websites and checking out the news that way. My husband gets Google alerts on anything to do with U.S. commercial shipbuilding. His alerts go to his GMail.
I haven't really used my RSS feed since I started it. But like EEB's husband, my husband uses his to keep up with new info in his field. He has an iGoogle page and has linked his GoogleReader to it.
