RSS Feeds and Readers

I think RSS Feeds and Readers are Things #8 and 9, but I began to become familiar with them out of order. Of all the 23 1/2 things, RSS Feeds and Readers are the things I am most interested in. I'm something of a news junkie, so I can appreciate how RSS Feeds and Readers allow me to keep up with the news. Having news brought to my attention as it becomes news is so much more efficient than having to to search my news sources to to see if there have been any new developments. My colleagues and I tried using Bloglines but had problems with it. One of them recommended Google Reader, and that's what most of us are using.

I get RSS feeds from the following library blogs:
