or mine if you find it.
This is just one of the tidbits that I found on the Mental Floss blog. Mental Floss is one of my favorite magazines and their website is always packed with stuff that I've always wanted to know and didn't even know I wanted to know it. I've just subscribed to it's RSS feed using Bloglines. Woo-Hoo! #5 is done!
I have never used a feed reader before, though I was curious what the little RSS symbol meant. I can see how it could save some time IF you currently checked blogs/websites regularly. However, I can envision subscribing to too many feeds - which means they just won't get read. I like that I can subscribe to sites that I have found useful in the past, but have forgotten. It acts like a reminder, "remember me... how I helped you that one time...you could call sometimes."
I actually see this working best for keeping up on specific interests. As libraries, if we subscribed to the local feeds, we could better anticipate the needs of the community.
