RSS and Delicious

I have listened to one hour sessions on RSS feeds at least three different times since last May. But I had not followed through, set up a reader and signed up for feeds. I have now set up a Google Reader and signed up for three feeds. It was easy to do both.

I tried using the Google Reader search box to search for RSS feeds. I didn't have much luck. But I am impressed with the Ebling Library's list of RSS feeds listed on their web site. I did select a Medscape feed from their list as well as a couple of NLM RSS feeds.

Now I need to learn much more about how to manage the feeds once they are on Google Reader. The Medscape feed has a large number of postings.

I found another use for Delicious this week. I have been running between about four computers to get my assignments done since the computer in my office is heavily restricted. I had been forwarding the Learning 2.0 assignment email to my home email several times a week to access the links on public access computers in the library as well as my home computer. But now I have the link on Delicious. And voila, it appears whenever I call it up on Delicious from any computer.
