This week's lesson was a great lesson for me as it built on the blogging skills we learned last year and added on new skills for RSS feeds and Twitter. I really liked the lesson on RSS feeds as it will help me to keep track of new developments on the blogs that I now follow, the beauty of RSS feeds is that it makes maintaining your blogs extremely easy and you only need to go to one place to look at all of the new developments instead of having to check each blog individually. I know there is a place for Twitter but it was a service that I do not think I will be comfortable with but I am glad this was part of the assignment as it forced me to investigate this service. Step 1 I signed up for Feedreader and added all of the urls that I have on my Blogger page so I can start following the blogs Step 2 I signed up for a Twitter account and actually posted a tweet even though no one follows me. My Twitter name is @Katebastarache. I think there is a real use for both these formats in libraries as people can be sent information regarding the library right to their electronic device. Great assignment!
