Feeds Schmeeds

This assignment overlapped quite a bit with the previous step, “Learn about RSS Feeds,” so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. Here are my results after exploring the various search tools:

Topix – nope

Syndic8 – nada

Technorati – uh uh

Google Reader – we have a winner!

Google Reader was definitely the easiest to use and seemed to make the most sense. With “Topix” I wasn’t even sure WHAT I was looking at. Using Google Reader I searched for library related blogs and while I didn’t find any that I’d want to subscribe to (outside of my library friends’ blogs that I mentioned in my previous post), I did find a couple interesting ones such as “Anarchist Librarians” and “Librarians with Class.” Nice. Oh yeah, and just for kicks I searched for “puppetry” and Wikipedia came up. So I’m guessing I could subscribe to the Wikipedia definition of puppetry and every time somebody updates it I’d be notified. Which is a really good thing because staying current on Wikipedia’s definition of puppetry is EXTREMELY important! ;)

Well, that’s it. Just for kicks I’ve added a couple of inspirational StarTrek posters that Elizabeth found online. They have absolutely nothing to do with this post but I thought they were pretty funny. Enjoy.
