RSS Feed-Back...

Bloglines is not only a nifty little aggregator but it has some other great features that you could use to make it a nice little information centre for yourself...my blog feeds include 2 of my favourite loves, music and movies, an obligatory library-related blog and my "fake" colleague Graham's experiences as a Leed's librarian working down under which are documented in his blog "Librarian Down Under". My real colleague Donna's blog can be found also - Donna is doing Graham's job and vice versa. Of course, SLQ gets a look in there also.
Subscribing to feeds certainly makes keeping up with blog posts much easier, otherwise it can be quite a daunting process. Our library currently has news site RSS feeds embedded into the website but we aren't pushing out RSS content yet - it does have some great possibilities though, particularly for newsy and events content that needs to be pushed out to customers. I have posted a response on Bookishtype Reads blog regarding RSS feeds and their use for libraries...technology like this needs to have a true purpose, not just exist for the sake of 2.0 - great blog Bookishtype Reads, I really enjoy it - especially your Eleanor post...
