RSS feeds [Thing #8]

RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) is a great Web 2.0 tool. You can receive any kind of news you want in one stop. For as useful as it is, it's actually very simple. I created my own Bloglines account (which is a free online newsreader), and from there was able to subscribe to several different newsfeeds. There are so many topics to choose from. If you want to keep on top of the news that's happening in library-land, you could subscribe to The Shifted Librarian. If you're a cat person, you can subscribe to About Cats. The possibilities are endless. I love RSS, because it's pretty much just one-stop-shopping for any type of news or update you could ever need. The fact that it's so easy to use just makes it even better.
