This is so much fun!

The most difficult aspect of this activity was trying to answer the question: "What is my favourite web sites?"
After much pondering and soul searching I discovered much to my amazement that once I began to explore the new world of "feeds" and "newsgroups" I quickly became addicted. One thing lead to another and to another until before I knew it i had subscibed to 18 feeds in 10 minutes! I am still thinking of adding more.
At this stage, I have focused on looking for feeds that will provide me with updates on world and local news as well as general interest stories and entertainment. Next I would like to search for feeds that relate to music, literature and art; especially travelling art and history exhibitions. I have not as yet searched for any library blogs, but I hope to get onto that next week.
RSS is a great asset to Libraries as it provides constant up to date information on any given topic quickly and effortlessly. It also facilitates communication between "library bloggers" who share similar interests.
Bye for now...
