iHCPL Week 4: #8 Make life "really simple" with RSS and a newsreader




I followed the discovery resources above to learn more about RSS and newsreaders, but they just could not compete with the library’s own LOL video inspiration piece. I did find the videos easier to comprehend than Bloglines’ own blog instructions.

Since I’ve been using Google’s Reader as my aggregator for sometime, I used the new one on Bloglines to subscribe to a sampling of iHCPL blogs.


By way of comparison, I must say that using Reader I can move from a link in about 3 seconds compared with the 16 seconds it took to move about on Bloglines. It reminded me of the bad old days on the World Wide Wait as the web was called at the distant turn of the millennium.
