What did I ever do before RSS?? There is so much stuff out there and it’s now so easy to keep track of whatever I’m interested in. So much so that this morning I got quite carried away reading things in my RSS aggregator, it’s almost time to get ready for work, and I haven’t written anything!
This morning I have been reading:
From the Librarian in Black, OCLC’s look at Web 2.0 and what it means for libraries.
At Terra Nova, how online text communication is affecting other communication.
Feel-good Librarian’s post about keeping one’s eyes open, to see the opportunities that are there.
Jiwa Rasa’s post on finding book gems in the most unexpected places (in Malay).
I have given up on my futile quest to keep my subscriptions down to 300. Setting Bloglines to just display new items gives me the illusion that everything is under control. The Mark All Read feature is also good to use from time to time.

300!!! Yikes.
At the moment I have 346 subscriptions! Usually only about half have updates at any given time, but that’s still around 150 blogs and websites to skim through…
Bless that ‘Mark All Read’ (aka Nuke All) button…
What RSS reader do you use? I tried one that was built into FireFox, NewsFox, but I’m not a huge fan…
Tofu, I use Bloglines. I work on at least two different computers every day and up to six different computers every week, and with Bloglines my subscriptions are all online, accessible from anywhere, and I don’t need to worrying about making sure I update every computer…
Jon Y, indeed 🙂
