Thing # 2

RSS...Really Simple Syndication
Purpose: To bring the web to you...tis faster than look for all the information that is brought directly to you.
Bloglines:
Setting up the account was fairly easy, picking what to suscribe to...not so much!
I chose 4 feeds that I though might be of interest to someone who hardly ever uses the computer at home.
1. Dilbert Daily Strip...strictly for amusement.
2. Librarians Internet Index...Nov. 28 National Day of Listening, plus so many other articles not enough time to read them all. All librarian should suscribe, this was the most interesting feed.
3. Rueters...most readble worthwhile news.
4. Shifted Librarian...One byte at a time? Kind of whats new in libraries, technology.
Library patrons, probably could use RSS to get to what they want, sort of sifting out all the stuff that they don't want.
Possible way to stay connected to things that they are interested in.
