View on RSS Feeds:
My personal view on Rss feeds is they are quite fiddly, I learnt about them several years ago and really never caught on to liking them, sure they give us updates, but again personally I'd prefer to just go to the web site it self every now and then and check for updates.
Rss feeds within a library are a good thing for clients and staff alike, it helps keep track of a number of blogs, wikis, forums and so forth, it helps ensure easy access and back access at a client or staff members request. It also helps with updates with news and feed back to certain postings which are easily found with RSS feeds since most store and index posts for you.
As you say, Scott, RSS are important for libraries. it is a really good way for us to push our services out to our clients
ReplyDeleteThis is a good blog, a number of people seem to have done this one!
ReplyDeleteLibrarians Matter is a wonderful source, I'm sure we will see more from there as we progress through the course.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like this blog, the introduction to Web 2.0 technologies is done in a refreshing way with lots of interesting diary entries. I have an RSS feed to this blog. I am pleased that you voiced some negatives re RSS feeds - so if I do not take to them I will know that I am not the only one.
ReplyDeletegood blog you found - agree you can get RSS overload if you subscribe to too many, but they are time savers if you are really into a site
ReplyDeletelooks like it will be helpful for information for tech. and reading the industry overview was interesting
ReplyDeleteI agree that RSS feeds can be too much work for what you actually get out of them. Obviously it's important to provide meaningful updates for the feed and not just inane 'chatter'.
