Blogs and news sites are a wonderful way to keep informed. Up until a few days ago I would dutifully make the rounds on the couple of sites that I liked to read. It was mildly time consuming-- especially if there was nothing new to read or look at.
Enter RSS! I started using Google Reader a few days ago. I am hooked! It is as if a newspaper is delivered to my computer at all hours of the day and the articles in it are actually interesting to me. To be honest, I am disappointed when there is nothing new for me to read.
In conjunction with reading "RSS For Non-Techie Librarians", I can see how important RSS is to any professional industry. It allows people to save time (time is money!) and keep up to date on innovations in their area. It's an easy-to-use system to keep informed. What isn't there to love about having all the information you want in one place?
