- What do you like about RSS and newsreaders? It easily brings things in which you are interested together in one place. It reduces the amount of time you spend returning to those fav things and gems that you have discovered after hours of searching, surfing between the hands of solitaire.
- How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your library or personal life? I can cut down on time spent searching and repeat searching as mentioned above and give you more time for online sudoku or solitaire OOPS, I mean working on the latest draft of the Library's Long Range Plan or whatever. However you do have to give up some game time to read the feed as they can accumulate, just like those bills do on the table waiting to be paid.
- How can librarian staff or media specialists use RSS or take advantage of this technology? One can bring together many items of interest into one place automatically and peruse them at your leisure rather than having to read them when they arrive. It is an insominiac's dream (is that an oxymoron?)
- Which tool for finding feeds was easiest to use? I go to the general store to find feeds. I think barley is the best!
- What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds? Often the blog will have a blogroll or tag cloud or some other way of leading you ever deeper into the web.
- Find any great sources we should all add to our feed reader? Not right now.

You have a great sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog.
CATCH UP WEEK!
ReplyDeleteWe've rearranged the schedule to allow people this week to catch up on their blogs. We will not post a new Thing until next Monday (February 16).
There will be one more catch up week down the line and then two weeks at the end of the program to allow you to finish up. We really do want you to be successful and complete the 23 Things.
