Thing 4: RSS Feeds

Will the snow ever stop?  Ever?  It feels like I am stuck in forever winter.
Anyway....

RSS Feeds.  Here's another topic from a professional development of long ago.  I used to have the one through google, but it seemed that was gone, so I looked for something else.  I found the article from Joyce Valenza very helpful in giving me more information on where to start, and one of my fellow librarians was just gushing on netvibes, so off I went to check it out.

I like it.  A technology person I spoke to about them thought I was nuts....RSS feeds?  Too much information, she said.  And sure, it could be.  But I like that I can just go to that website whenever the mood strikes...I would not want all that information sent to any of my emails.  Better to be able to pick when and where and what.  Genius, really.  I haven't figured out everything yet, but I like pulling in so many websites I like into one place.  News, weather, sports...next I must find some feeds for my teams!  Go Orange!
