S401 Bloglines

I have never used an RSS feed before, in fact I didn't know what it was until abou a week ago.  However, using Bloglines as a way to get feeds from all different sources was fairly easy and a convenient way to organize information you're specifically interested in.  I would say the hardest part is finding blogs that update regularly.  None of the blogs I subscribed to did any postings this week, but I assume that I will see something from them soon.  I have a few friends that blog, and their posts are usually pretty sporadic.  I wasn't aware that there were so many different blogs by librarians actually about being a librarian.  I think using Bloglines is a good way for new librarians to read the blogs of experienced librarians and get a glimpse into what the job is all about.  I found that the main advantage of using Bloglines is that they are able to make a very specialized internet for you.  It's kind of like if you were able to tell a newspaper what you wanted to read about (for me it would be about nature and animals), and then they send a newspaper to you all filled with stories on the things you're interested in.  If more people knew about this site, I bet they would love being able to have information from all their favorite sites all collected for them and ready for them to explore when they have time-I know I do!
