RSS feeds and keeping up with information - Week 2

Write a blog post about your reflections on this activity and whether or not you think an RSS aggregator/newsreader would be a good tool for keeping up with information.

I think that RSS feeds are an excellent way to keep up with information. I often do not have time or simply cannot remember to visit all the websites I am interested in. Or sometimes, I will forget which websites I visited that were useful. I previously had a bloglines account and created a GoogleReader account as well. I believe both are good tools. I like that bloglines allows for you to create your own blog in addition to subscribing to RSS feeds. I did find it rather easy to find and select the feeds I was interested in using GoogleReader.

I was so excited about the screencast on how to use rss feeds in your web site. I always wondered how web sites did that. I'm learning so much in this course. It's sometimes hard to keep up. Maybe I should subscribe to the social libraries feed?? :)
