Oh Great! More info being pushed at me.
That was my first reaction when asked to subscribe to some RSS feeds.
I like hunting for info. That's the fun part. I don't need RSS feeds. I was pretty sure that after completing this assignment, I would have no need to ever use Bloglines again.
Until I found some really cool blogs, and realized that it's nice to have the info all in one place. Here are some of the things I found:
a blog on creativity and writing
one on writing prompts (and they were pretty good prompts)
the shifted librarian (which is a blog I always forget I like so I never read)
a great blog that had an entry on overcoming writer's block (I'm always looking for info on that since I seemed to have developed a chronic case)
Yep, I could be hooked. I even started reading some articles on how libraries are using rss feeds. There are so many possibilities. Some libraries are putting rss feeds on subject guides, others are using it to allow customers to find new books or track favorite authors.
The cool thing about RSS feeds is that they can help us interact with our customers and can help create a sense of community on our website.
