Well today I discovered the wonderful world of RSS Feeds. For those who are unfamiliar with them they are these neat little feeds which you can subscribe to and whenever they get updated, you receive the update.
The great thing about them is that they are available for a wide range of topics so I am sure that if you look for something in your area of interest, they will have a rss feed for it.
I love my sports especially soccer so I signed up to a couple of sport feeds one of which is ESPN. Also I signed up to Powerhouse Museum picture of the day, which has some great shots and also to the Daily Telegraph which will keep me up to date with the news. Hopefully the feed can bring me some good news in regards to soccer... Go Arsenal!!!
Honestly if libraries used this technology to its full potential the results would be great. Not only would they be able to give people updates on new activities in the library but they would be doing it through a media which is becoming more and more popular. It will definitely attract more people to start using the library.
So ladies and gentlemen , in conclusion RSS feeds are something which I which ifI had been made aware of before, I wouldn't have to check on every different website the scores for the footy and the latest transfers... ah well better late than never :-)
