WEEK 4 - RSS

I was a bit mind boggled when first hearing the term RSS, but after experimenting I see that it is a great feature. Being able to add feeds from your favourite websites in a newreader (bloglines) or your blog saves you time - you dont have to go to all your favourite websites, you can just go to your blog or newsreader and its all there - your favourite recipes, news, jokes and the list can go on.

On bloglines i added feeds from national geographic, library blogs, a photographers blog and the powerhouse museum photo. I also added a feed from taste.com to my blog.

I can see how libraries can use this. They can add feeds of library news and other library blogs.
