Thing 3--RSS Feeds

As with the other "Things" Setting up an RSS feed is quite easy and I can definitely see the benefits of using RSS feeds personally (news and weather feeds) as well as professionally. In an academic library it would be quite useful to show students and faculty how to use an RSS feed to alert them to the latest research published in a particular field.

I can also see how this is similar to getting a new camcorder or digital camera. There are many things I can do with the camera, but I typically just use the basic automatic settings. I noticed when setting up the RSS feed, there were many additional services offered, but I doubt that I will use these options.
