RSS Feeds

As someone who likes to browse many news and information sites, rss feeds save time opening each up individually. It streamlines information to your reader. The plus is you get the kind of news you want at your fingertips- the downside is that you may miss a headline that catches the eye because you didnt have that section of the news setup in an rss feed.

It would also be highly effective in managing the information pulled from blogs that are followed. New blog posts would feed into the individual reader without having to pull up each blog to browse for new information.

In a library setting, I can see myself feeding the information I read from various library blogs and wikis into one reader for easier and faster browsing. I could see patrons adding the libraries feed to their own readers so they can keep up with any new events or news.
