Today in class we did RSS feeds, as part of the class we have to answer these three questions about RSS feeds.
1. What do you like about RSS & newsreaders?
Answer: I like the fact that i can just go to Google Reader and see all the blogs that i am interested in without having to go to more than one site, they are all just there for me to see. I also like the fact that it tells me how many new posts there are to read.
2.How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your personal life?
Answer: I will be able to follow all the blogs from my class without having to check all the time whether there are any new posts on each one, I can just go to my Google Reader and it will tell me. :-)
3.How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this technology?
Answer: Libraries could use RSS as having a quicker way for their patrons to go to specific pages of their site that they are interested in i.e.by having an author of the week or book of the week page, and having RSS attached to the page so that people can follow wiothout having to go to the site all the time, they will know when the new post has come up via their Rss Reader.
What a logical and thoughtful post Vannessa.
