Week 4, Thing #8

RSS Feeds. I set-up a RSS in both Google and Bloglines. Google emails updates to me, where bloglines, I login to get updates. What I like the best about Bloglines, is that I can access my feeds from any computer. And since my youngest son is home from college, I am using his new laptop on the sofa to work on projects. To get to my Google account, I have to get my ancient school laptop out, powered up (about 10 minutes) and access my school email address.

RSS Feeds have the potential of saving research librarians a lot of time. I am an elementary K-4 librarian and will use in a limited manner. I need more time to digest the options and possible sites to watch for current news.

Now that I have a Blogline account I can always modify to my tastes.

A tiny bit of caution about using Bloglines: It's addicting and frustrating when you can't get your reader to zero!! : )
