23 Things Assignment #3

I already tried out having a bloglines account a few years ago, and was keeping up with it for a while. I still have an active account (when I tested it today, it was still active), but just last week I asked them to "cancel" it (although I doubt that this is possible), as I think that I'll use Google Reader instead. I can easily access this from my blogger.com account. I've already set up to "follow" a few feeds there.

For the purposes this assignment, I've signed up for the Library Journal news and reviews, as well as the 3 feeds you see below once again, in bloglines:

I was finding that while this was a great time saver, for sure, but I just did not have time in the branch. I'm not sure that I always will in Answerline, either, but will give it a go again. It certainly is more efficient than continually checking each site. I used to use it especially for finding out about new websites for my VRL selection when I was at TRL.

I also subscribed to several family blogs, but was finding it just a bit too much , as I didn't want to spend time at home or during my breaks trying to keep up with everyone's activities, or imaginary characters (cute though they were). I use the computer so much at work that I try not to do too much at home.
