Thing 8

I subscribed to Google Reader a few months ago. I've subscribed to the following blogs: A Library By Any Other Name, Librarian Philosopher, PostSecret (I know, not an education blog, but still great), Mike Falick's Blog (because I was curious), and CrazyAuntPurl (another non-education blog, but cool because it's a knitting blog).

1. I love that I can go to one place to see all the blogs and web sites that I read. Before I figured out news readers I was going to several web sites a day to see what was new. Now I don't have to . Readers are great for keeping up with new information.

2. I think that readers are going to be wonderful for keeping up with information easily--for both my school and personal life.

3. Libraries could use RSS feeds in a number of ways. It is great for librarians to be aware of what other librarians are doing and the technology other librarians are using. It would also be good for librarians who was to keep information in one place for students (RSS feeds of book review blogs, for example).
