Subscriptions, please.
July 26, 2008Okay, at last press, I had subscribed to 26 feeds! And I’m still hungry! Innovations Team, I think you created a monster. As of today, after a little fine-tuning, I subscribe to 32. Of course, I haven’t exhausted all of the possibilities out there. I’m sure with a few (free) moments to really think about it, I will find more things that pique my interest. I did, however, find it hard to find feeds about libraries. Well, I guess I should say, it was hard to find feeds that were not about a single library/library system. I stumbled upon a couple of good ones, though. There are some great feeds on our website(of course!) and I have subscribed to a couple. The other one is about libraries in general. It’s a weblog by Steven Cohen that I found on librarystuff.net. Mr. Cohen writes for Information Today magazine and he posts his blogs about, you guessed it…all things library. I don’t know about anybody else, but that kinda rocks to me. Of course my other feeds are cool, too. New music, new movies, new HK films(!), food and drink…gotta love it! The only thing I don’t like about this is that there is so much information and it never leaves. Does anyone know how to make the articles I’ve read go away? Help!
Correction! I just read Dewey the Decimal Smasher’s blog, and I now subscribe to A Librarian’s Guide to Etiquette. Thanks, Dewey!!
I have used Bloglines as my reader for years and once I’ve marked articles read they disappear. I tried Google Reader for the 23 Things exercise just to do something new, but I haven’t figured out how to make the read articles vanish either.
I know that when I searched “library” in Bloglines I got tons of general library blogs. It can get totally overwhelming. Though also interesting.
Up with Tech Monsters! I think I’ve become one, myself.
