This was the exercise I was most interested in learning. I've seen the link for RSS for some time and never "went there." For me, this feature will be convenient for tracking specific items, such as stock market news, etc.
I've chosen a couple of large companies to monitor to see how much more I could learn this way rather than just stumbling upon these companies in the regular news. It already looks like a much more comprehensive way of collecting information, but the drawback is that its a real time sink. One technical note, if I move away from the list of feeds, I would prefer to just have the one item I've read disappear rather than the whole list.
In my work life, I can use RSS to stay informed for both publishing news and news about our profession. I do already have a couple of email feeds, and I notice they are also available RSS.
Libraries can use the technology to inform the public about new items or to promote books, as KDL already does. It could also be used to update the public about any activites being planned.
I haven't had time to actually post blogs there, but here's the link Cascadeblogmon.
