RSS & Feed Readers

I'm really glad I took the time to get my bloglines account set up this week. I added several sites I like to read and think it will help save time to have them all in one place. I've played around with Pageflakes in the past. Mainly I used it to keep track of a few author blogs. Because they were all in one place, I read them a lot more often and was able to stay up to date very easily. I'm hoping that by adding more feeds to bloglines, I will have the same experience. Now I have everything in one place in a format I find very useful.

There are several ways libraries could use RSS feed technology. What if patrons could be notified about the new titles we've purchased, or find out about program information through RSS feeds? RSS feeds could allow us to send information to our website directly to our patrons. What a great way to keep them coming back and exploring what we have to offer.

That's all for now--my bloglines account is full of new blogs to read!
