RSS Feed

My RSS Feed Search subscription went really well. I was nervous that they said they had to verify my email address because I thought it might take them a day to get back to me with the link to click on for verification. It actually just took about ten seconds to get an email from them and the link worked immediately. I liked being able to sign up for the US News blog updates right away(I'm a news junkie). I really like Technorati best. It's really quick, user-friendly and I really like being able to see how many people liked it with the up arrows instead of the down arrows for negative responses. I tried topix.net and was annoyed with the pop-up advertisements. The layout was also "busy" with lots of information to sift through to get what I wanted. I also tried syndic8.com and it wasn't helpful at all. I searched for school libraries and only one entry popped up but I couldn't just click on it to open it. I just gave up on this one. I'm going to follow a couple of blogs. One is The Best of Pub Lib. The posts were recent and the topics were current. there were also a variety of topics all relevant to libraries. Another blog I'll follow is ReadySteadyBook. This blog had book reviews, interviews with authors, and titles of books. It will be fun to be notified of new posts to these blogs. Since I rarely have time to do a lot of surfing for information, it's nice to know I'll get regular updates without the extra time involved.
