I have been struggling with RSS all week. It looks like it could be a useful thing if I got a lot of information from the internet. I tend to read the paper and listen to NPR. However, maybe this is a way to work in a few more sources without having to spend as much time. I found that some of the sites I wanted to include didn't have the RSS feeds (Car Talk, gardening sites). I'm not sure why this was so difficult. There was a little issue when subscribing to certain feeds. If it brought up choices when you clicked the intial subscibe button, you have to check one of the boxes before clicking on the second subscribe button or it doesn't attach.
The library could set up a Bloglines account with library related sources they would like us to keep up with.
OK. I tried some of the searching tools for the RSS feeds. I liked the Blogline search tool. It will give you sites that offer feeds while the others seemed to mostly be an RSS for the RSS feeds. Which, of course, could be useful. I was having trouble finding sites that had the feeds in the first place so I thought Blogline's angle was the best for what I was trying to do. The others may do the same thing and I just didn't have it set for it.
