Week 4 Thing 8 RSS

RSS....hhhmmm, now I can group all those things I probably won't get time to read anyway!! Actually I can see the value of this when I want to follow a particular topic on a website/blog. Being alerted to a new post will keep me up-to-date. I can see how this could be a really helpful tool for libraries (or any entity) to get their messages and news out to their customers. I didn't know what RSS was before this exercise but had noticed the little symbols but will our customers be willing to experience 23 Things? We'll need to promote the whole concept...over time. I can see this being devoured by the "omnivores" but think many of our customers (possibly not savvy teens) aren't quite there yet.
