RSS feeds are interesting characters. I like the idea of news being sent to me. Perhaps now I will be on the frontline of news instead of not knowing what was happening around me. I have to admit that searching sites or newspapers for interesting tidbits doesn't happen often for me. Now that the news can be sent to me, I have no excuses! One problem I can see happening is that I won't get around the checking back with the aggregator and having a boatload of information waiting on me when I do check in. But all that can be handled with the simple push of the delete key!
Currently I don't have much feeding to me, but I can see myself getting feeds for scrapbooking, movies and TV news, and of course news pertaing to my career as a librarian!
As for using this in the library, I can think of many uses. We could receive feeds from many of the great sites for teachers and children. I could set up an aggregator for both students to access and teachers as well. I feel like I have said this already, but the possibilities are endless.
