Week 4 - RSS

Greetings readers!

After a few frustrating moments looking for little orange symbols in blogs I finally managed to add some to my Google reader. Here they are -

http://blogs.abc.net.au/thebuzz/
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog

I like that the reader helps cut down on the time spent visiting each individual blog. It's good for browsing through articles (kind of like an online newspaper full of all your interests) and the design is simple and easy to follow. I wouldn't want to subscribe to a blog that was updated too frequently though as it would fill the blogreader with too much information.

In a library context I think a blog reader would be useful to clients if they could subscribe to Cambridge's blog entries and stay updated on the library's events without having to check the blog every day.

Cheerio

  1. WoW!!! ... You're so onto this aren't you Verity, you so know all about RSS feeds and how you could fill your blog reader with too much info if you have RSS Feeds that are supdated all the time, then your blogreader will get too full - I didn't think about that when choosing my Google/Blog Readers (RSS Feeds), probably should have ?? Oh well... I like your choices of feeds that you are getting.... The ones I chose were:
    * The West Autralian
    * Perth Convention Centre
    *
