Yeah! Finally back after vacation and other hot July slowdowns. Still viewing my RSS feeds through my bloglines account and trying to add more newsfeeds. I have now added MERLIN RSS feed and have enjoyed viewing this site, although I feel that I have to do a lot more in order to be comfortable with it.
I have enjoyed learning about feeds and liked finding out about Technorati, Feedster, etc. I mostly used URL's to obtain feeds. I like Technorati the best at this point but we are on a big learning curve here....thanks for getting us to do these exercises!

Week 4 Thing 8
Yeah! I have some experience with the first thing I had actually not heard of in this tutorial--RSS. It took me a few tries and watching those great videos and now I have a site.
I like the idea of RSS and feel like I need to read it every day for awhile to actually understand it's full potential. I like being able to go to one site rather than my Favorites list when I want to check out what's new, and actually seeing only what's new is probably the best part. My question remains--can I just get say "travelling to Montreal" off of the travel sites instead of everything that's new? It seems like I should be able to but I have yet to discover it. However, I still love it and plan to persue the whole thing.
I am so glad that I have found out how this works as I can see it being in the next generation of web users--people like my kids will be using it without thinking it's a big deal. I think that RSS has a lot of uses in the library--from me reading book reviews to the whole library setting up trainings or information settings this way. Thanks! The tools we were given to use this were phenomenal!
Okay, so now I can't put my bloglines thing here...will keep working on it.
