A Girl’s Own Adventure in Blogland

Created by Matt Forsythe    
Who would have thought there could be so many different versions of a RSS feed icon. SO if you happen to be looking for one then here is the ultimate list - my mind boggles! So RSS feeds all done – that was quite straight forward as I already have an account with google for my mail and I also use the calendar. All I had to do was search for my areas of interest and then subscribe. I subscribed to 5 newsfeeds – Edna, The Rolling Stone/Bob Dylan, Library Journal Book Reviews, Bookfinder and Noise Pollution (this is one of The Age newspaper blogs – I love reading The Age online as you get access to things like their blogs. There is a great variety of blogs that The Age has to offer – and I highly recommend you take a look  ). What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?  A couple of these sites I already visit on a weekly basis but having them come to you so to speak, along with some other areas of interest is handy. I think the key to sucess is to limit how many you subscribe to otherwise it could be overwhelming. How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your school or personal life?  I think in the education setting it could have great benefits for example when trying to collate information for certain subjects and assignments it would be a great time saver. How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology? I think if they worked with the teachers in their school they could use the RSS feed to gather informtion when their students were working on certain assignments.
