More ways with RSS

I still have my Bloglines account from Learning 2.0,but I must admit that I haven't really looked at it in the last six months. I blame lack of time, but looking at some of the feeds today I realise that I should make time to use the tool as it contained very useful information.

Looking through the Filter tools I preferred the Feed rinse tool, it was relatively easy to use and suited my needs. Filter my RSS was a dead link and Feed Sifter wasn't as useful for me.

The RSS forwarding tools also have the potential to be very useful, I would most likely use the Feed my Inbox tool. If the feeds are appearing in my email I would be more likely to read them, however I would only use a few select feeds to prevent my email being overwhelmed.

Reminder Feed looked like it may have potential, but this would only work for me if I actually remember to visit my feed reader on a regular basis. The link for Spreed was also a dead link.

At the moment I have only subscribed to a few select feeds so lack of organisation hasn't really been a problem, however I can see that with a larger number of feeds it would be necessary to arrange them in a more organised way.

NSW Public Library - Week 4

I have created a Bloglines account and added a number of feeds. There is a enormous amount of feeds available for every subject you can think of. I like that RSS makes it so easy to gather these sites together in an easily accessible format. I have made my bloglines public and included a link showing all of the sites that I selected http://www.bloglines.com/public/marianb. I think that this will be useful at work by providing a single access point from which information from many sources can be obtained quickly and easily.
Libraries can take advantage of this technology by providing a feed from their website, this will keep patrons up to date with what is going on in the different areas of the library. Libraries can also provide access to relevant feeds on their website to give up to date information on a particular topic or subject.
There were a number of different library related feeds, some of which I subscribed to and have found quite useful and informative.
