More RSS

For me, the easiest method of finding feeds was going to my favorite websites and clicking the "Sub with Bloglines" bookmark--nothing to it.

I liked using Google blog search. With it I was able to find a long-lost friend's blog!

Library patrons might be interested in getting RSS feeds about new or suggested titles at the library, upcoming events, or news.

RSS & Newsreaders

Since I don't really do much web surfing, I don't really think I will use RSS very much. I really just prefer to go to my websites. I think it is a great tool for someone who frequently views lots of websites or blogs. I may use it for news updates, but I prefer to see all the headlines. Bloglines is very easy to use, especially in Firefox.

Flickr

I explored the flickr mashup retrievr. I really enjoyed playing with the sketch application and seeing what pictures would come up--some pretty scary ones and some pretty neat ones. Retrievr makes drawing much more fun for someone who is not very artistic.

I also explored the third party tool Flickriver. I like just having the pictures there without having to search for a particular image. Seeing pictures helps launch my search and imagination.

Flickr Pic

I found this picture while browsing photos that had been added in the last seven days. It is pretty interesting to see what people put out there--some photos are really great! The photo is posted at http://www.flickr.com/photos/74526173@N00/2223443256/
