Really Simple Syndication is a tool for subscribing to news and updates so I don't have to visit the sites and spend time looking for updates. With RSS, the updates come to me. I like the analogy that it is like a magazine rack in my house.
I watched the Common Craft Show on RSS in Plain English. To get an RSS feed there are two steps: sign up for a reader, then subscribe to my favorite news sites or blogs.
I picked Google Reader and it was all so easy and fast to get set up. I clicked their Browse for Stuff button and selected a bunch of their bundles: Environment, Science, News, Movies, Recipes and LOST. I also added the LIS News, Univ. of Florida News and Gainesville Residents News. I think the LIS News would be very handy to use at work.
Then I started reading and reading and reading. I can see this is going to require 23 out of 24 hours a day to keep up with it. Maybe I added too much....I am not sure I have the self control to deal with all this interesting stuff.
