Thing 4...RSS and Newsreaders

Sometimes I think that in spite of my seeming sophistication and frequent use of computers, I'm still an infant when it comes to all these new technologies. I watched the video from Common Craft Show. This is a great site for folks like me, it broke down the concept of RSS feeds and Newsreaders in really simple terms.

The problem comes when I try to think of my favorite websites. I sit in front of a computer all day, answer emails (this has become the main venue for giving and receiving work), look up information for patrons, type reports, but I don't really have any favorite websites. My daughter loves to watch YouTube and she is constantly looking up songs to watch and listen to, but I'm still in the real world more than the virtual world.

OK so this is a fun experiment. I signed up with Bloglines and added a few subscriptions to news, music and a few other irreverent sites. Now, I'll see if I use it.

That's enough fun for one day.
