RSS'marvelous!

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?
One can get the latest news or even a comic strip sent to you. You don't even have to go to that Website. RSS takes care of it.(Okay, how lazy is that?)Guess it is like a cookbook... all the recipes are there, instead of going to all different sources.

How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work or personal life?
I could get book reviews and the latest library news fed directly to my blog without me having to consciously remember to go to that website every time.

How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?
They can allow patrons to get news about what's going on at the library, upcoming events,especially local,branch specific events, promotion of new books or themed book displays,and whatever the library chooses to spotlight on RSS. It is very immediate.
