23 Things Assignment #3 - RSS feeds

I have used Bloglines before. However, for this assignment I've added a new feed, Canadian Business Online. So far I subscribe to feeds from:
Library Journal News
The Shifted Librarian
Librarians Internet Index
Canadian Business Online: My Money News

My experience with RSS have been okay. I noticed that I really prefer to check out the websites where the feeds are generated from. That way I get a chance to see other articles that might be of interest to me, for example, Canadian Business Online. RSS works well for me if I subscribe to news from websites that I have a moderate interest in. That way I can still keep informed but really have no need to check out their websites. This is a time saver if I approach using Bloglines in this way. I think that Bloglines can be used for both work or leisure. I am still hoping to add a few more feeds to my bloglines account.

23 Things Assignment #1

I am really hoping that by taking this independent course I will be able to learn more interesting online communication tools and cool (do they say that any more?) things. I hope that this blog will serve as some sort of a jumping off point to do just that!
