The last part of the RSS & podcast section is reflecting on what I've been looking at. With RSS you've pretty much been preaching to the converted. I love RSS and use it daily at home. I find it such an easy way to keep up with my favourite sites and see when updates happen. It just saves time having to visit lots of different sites. Its particularly good for sites that update randomly.
I think I'm going to stick with iGoogle as my reader though. Perhaps its just because I'm used to it but I think its a great product. Even though I'm going to stick with iGoogle I have been really impressed with Google reader. I think it would be a good tool to use at work, especially as there are lots of good feeds out there appropriate for libraries. I particularly liked the ones from the New York Times with book reviews and bestseller lists.
Podcasts - like them but I never seem to have enough time to listen to them regularly. They also seem to come and go and the ones I really like never update often enough. I liked that I could have them all coming in through Google reader. This was a very easy function to use and would be useful if only I had more time to listen to them!
Well RSS & podcasts are done. As they are both things I already use and know about I wasn't sure how much I'd learn but I learnt some really good tips and different ways of doing things. Most enjoyable!
