Google Reader and RSS Feeds

Google Reader is a gadget that is an attachment that records and archives, RSS Feeds that you 'subscribe' to the blog and are able to access the latest posts from that particular blog without having to search for the blog again on the internet


What do you like about RSS & newsreaders?
I really like RSS's because they're simple to use and understand, plus there is a huge range of different types of blogs and websites that have RSS feed attachments.  

How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your personal life?
I currently use RSS feeds to keep updated on my favourite blogs, web stories and comics, as well as the blog my friend made while she was away over seas (she took it down as soon as she got home). 


How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this technology?
This is a great way for inter-libraries to see what is going on within their communities. It could be a good way to link clients to useful sites and blogs outside of the library.
