week 4

For over a year now, I've been using RSS feeds to keep track of a lot of different sources - in fact, way too many of them. I add new ones suggested by other sites or I find them while browsing and I just don't want to give anything up. It's fun to open up my reader and see what has been updated, but I can't keep current with them all. Sometimes I let everything slide for a while instead and then have to play catch up with my favourites, while other feeds I can barely remember.

I've had limited experience with RSS feeds thus far, but first stumbled upon them last fall during my first term in MLIS, through another classmate who was known to be very keen on the cutting edge of library news. I definitely saw the benefits of having software that brings together all of my favourite websites...it certainly makes surfing the net more efficient, especially for someone who reads various newssites frequently.
