Bloglines

Wow, this took quite awhile to finish! I'm just going to comment on each of Kiera's suggestions.

  • First...I am proud to say that I was able to add an RSS Feed to my own "BooksRule1" blog so I can keep up with any comments made from my Bloglines Acct.
  • I really like the RSS feeds. Bloglines is easy to use, but has actually cost me time because I never really read a lot of news online, etc! However, I feel I will be more in touch. I put in some fun feeds like comics and recipes, some business feeds such as library feeds and then the top stories that are going on around the world.
  • I could definitely use this technology to keep up with what's going on in the library world and the world in general. I'm ashamed to say that I am not one to stay on top of what's going on so I think this will help me stay more in touch.
  • I'm not exactly sure how an elementary library can use this, unless we can subscribe to sites that give us reviews on new books, etc. I'm sure there are uses here...just can't think of them yet!
  • I found that browsing through the "top 1000 feeds" on Bloglines was easiest for me to find the feeds.
  • I liked the feeds that gave the top stories for the day. It's great just to browse through and read the ones you want. I loved the Calvin and Hobbes and will enjoy a daily dose of this comic strip!
  • Besides going through the most popular feeds on Bloglines, I went to sites that I frequent to see if I could find an RSS Feed.

  1. I am sooooo impressed....to me, this was the hardest one to get through, even when I was creating it. I had to make sure everything was "just right", which never seemed to work when I tested it. Glad you made it through!!!
