RSS - Really Simple

RSS feeds - can't survive without them. Not exactly, but I have been using Feedreader, the feed reading program on the library staff machines, to collate my RSS feeds for some time. I have subscribed to some very informative blogs that help me to keep informed about technology in particular. I usually skan the feeds daily for the latest ABC news and anything else of interest. Of course, I have to be on the computer at work if I want to read them. This has been a problem recently as I haven't been able to get into work because of a little broken leg.

Bloglines being online is much more flexible than Feedreader because you can access the site from anywhere in the world. I have tried other online feedreaders but I really like Bloglines. I had fun setting it up and exploring what I could do with it. I couldn't remember all the feeds I have subscribed to at work but I was able to find and subscribe to some of my favourites, like LOL Cats, and found some new ones that I have added. I discovered that, like Feedreader, I could organise my feeds into folders which is a feature I particularly like. So now I can keep up to date with what's happening, and enjoy a little recreational humour as well.

One of the 23 Things activities is to share our Bloglines blogroll. If I have done it right you should be able to see it here.
