Thing 4

I set up Google Reader and added two subscriptions -- Market Watch and the NYTimes Carpetbagger. Yes, I'm interested in Oscar buzz (guilty secret :). I am realizing that this is not so new to me because I have had a "MY Yahoo" page for months and added stuff I wanted to see there. Not blogs but news and websites I wanted to follow. It's been very useful to have that content up there and changing daily without any effort.

I can see that RSS will be handy in the library if we can use it to broadcast information to our avid patrons. Programming for those parents who really follow our free offerings, materials we've added, etc.

I can never remember the hints on what we might put in these posts when I'm blogging so that's my excuse for content-thin blogs on each Thing.
I can see where RSS would really eat into your time. I have had this conversation with my addicted son who watches his iphone constantly for updates on everything.
