RSS Delivers!

I have always liked deliveries--I feel pampered, I feel as if I am getting back to my royal roots that I had become accustomed to in a previous life. The notion that information could be delivered directly to my attention (now I am not talking about SPAM e-mails)--information that I used to have to consciously seek out (if I remembered to do so), well, that appeals to me. I have set up an account on Bloglines and have added several feeds that will help keep me informed. I like that they are all in one place, and I can see at a glance how many new items are waiting for me to look at. The only part of the learning curve that will take some getting used to is checking in on a regular basis--so as to not be overwhelmed by the sheer number of feeds accumulating on each site. From a library prospective, I think staff members could use Bloglines to keep abreast on the changing nature of all kinds of information, not just library related. I have added several library-related feeds, but also those items that I am personally interested in following. I enjoy Nancy Pearl, she is included. The Shifted Librarian looks to be interesting. As does LibraryStuff. I like food, and I have added some recipe feeds that will take care of my tummy. Keep the Faith to help with my spiritual side. The list is growing, and at some point I will no doubt reach the point of having to delete some of the feeds due to lack of time. But for now, this is a time-saver, a convenience, and lots of fun.
