What do you like about RSS and newsreaders? I guess RRS is pretty cool if you are wanting a lot of information sent to you without ads and not a lot of junk mail. I subscribed to several different ones yesterday and today I am going to check on them through bloglines. I hate having a lot of different screen names and passwords. I am going to have to make up a list so I don't forget all of the links...my websites, my screen names pass codes, etc. Today, I even forgot how to get back into this blog site. I didn't remember what e-mail I used. UGH! I wasn't too impressed with the first stories I received yesterday. But everyone has a bad day! I'm having one today and I'm sure your really not so interested in that! Sorry, but the newsreader is a "New Idea" to me but has been around a while. It seems to make a lot of other people happy. I'm hopeful it will allow others to organize what they are reading, keep up with technology, news, weather etc.
How might this technology be used in your work or personal life? Well I did check on some librarians links, weather and news. I love keeping up with the news and I enjoy the BBC since our local news tells the same stories over several different networks. I like to know what others are thinking about us here in the United States. I may learn about other libraries through this system as well. But, this is new to me. I need some time to absorb all of this and see in the end if it was worth it.
How can libraries use RSS and benefit from this technology? I can see our system making up a blog through it's website with links, see librarians work this when they have off-desk time to answer questions/answers (Q&A) We could connect with other systems across the web and have links for patrons to access via our website.
This could also be used as a learning tool for programming, staff training and online programs through RRS.
Optional: If you're up to the challenge, you can provide the URL address to your public bloglines account on your blog. http://www.bloglines.com/public/teenturf
