RSS is Really Super Stuff

If anyone is ever going to be overloaded by information provided by technology, it's me. Since I have so little experience with technology (seriously, I did not know what a url was until two years ago) just hearing the term RSS, made me quiver in my boots. So if I can do this without being overloaded, I think just about anyone can. I am a convert. I love, love, love RSS! I can see how it could get overwhelming if you signed up for too many sites, but if you like to read a lot of blogs or look at a lot of sites on a regular basis, this seems to me to be a great time saver. I would have loved this for professional journals and magazines when I was practicing law. It would have made the reading so much easier to keep up with!

I love the productivity part of RSS. It was so much fun adding websites to our blogs and wiki page. Knowing that the tools are out there to do these things when we are working in a library allows us to have another option to bring some creativity into our jobs and our projects. I think RSS has huge possibilities, but can be controlled so that those of us who are not too technical can still enjoy it and reap its benefits.
