Thing #4

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?
I like getting competing new sources and seeing how each source slants the news. Also who gets it first.
My father is retired and this is one of his hobbies.


How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your library or personal life?
I think it is more convenient to have the headlines come to me and I know media outlets are starting to think that way so I might as well climb on board.


How can librarian staff or media specialists use RSS or take advantage of this technology?
Not sure. I guess as usual someone will get a great idea and we will all apply it to our venues.


Which tool for finding feeds was easiest to use?
I am using both Blogger and Google Reader. I haven't noticed one is harder than the other. At some point I will try to get them to compliment each other or drop one.


What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds?
I have most of this stuff coming to my iGoogle page. I'm not quite sure what the difference is. I now feel bombarded!


Find any great sources we should all add to our feed reader?
No, but I may down the road. I'm interested in seeing what the rest of the group came up with.
