Fun with RSS

RSS has the potential to be a time saver, if one is following particular web pages or blogs. My real question is, do I really need to know every time a change is made on a specific site? Would my account become littered with hundreds of unread posts?

I'm getting confused with the gobs of user names and passwords I have to have for all these technological things. Google Reader is nice because it can be accessed from my google account -- one user name and password for the reader and the blog access and all sorts of other stuff from that one account page. I'm much more likely to actually look at the feeds from there than a stand-alone reader which we used in the Thing #6 exercise.

If libraries are keeping up their web pages with frequent new content, the RSS feeds could be a help to customers. If the pages don't change, the RSS feeds (or lack of activity) becomes more evident for the customer subscribed to the feeds.
