- What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?: I love the way that RSS makes syndication real simple. Instead of spending half an hour scouring the internet for all of the sites that you like to keep up to date on, you can just go to your feed location and see all of your updates quickly and easily.
- What other sites did you select for your RSS reader?: I am a bit of an online comic fan, so I chose a few of my favourites and subscribet to their feeds. Also an RSS that I set up recently for Azelia Ley Museum.
- How do you think you might be able to use this technology?: As mentioned above, using it to RSS our library events lists to facebook, twitter etc. Pulling all the online comics I read into one location.
- How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?: It seems that a lot of what we deal with in the online library environment is in lists. Lists of events, book titles, blog entries etc. Instead of having to reproduce these lists in various places it is great that we can use rss to feed them all over the place and only update one.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting interview and some very enterprising questions.
ReplyDeleteI was struggling to see how to use RSS feeds in the library but your commetns about updating one and your updating all made agreat deal of sense - it's not just about getting information in it's also about ways to get information out. So thanks for that.
