Created a Bloglines account last year to receive and read my RSS feeds on desk. Yet, I am denied Sage as we cannot access email on desk due to some would say paternalistic network security.
Found it occasionally unreliable; my feeds would disappear at times and I would have to resubscribe. Open source software is lovely and free...
Not as visually organised, nor are feeds as easily subscribed to or updated as with Firefox's Sage
(You also could not have a more visually appealing icon on your desktop!). Want to leave the pc (and work) for home and cooking.
Back to Bloglines.
For the purposes of this exercise I'll sign up for yet another account, to test the program and to see if I can be driven to white frustration &/or hard yet mellowing substances like my fellow blogger dearest Lady Enid. Still aeroplane-spin dizzy from being invited to account bounce between Flickr, Google, Yahoo in previous exercises.
RSS feeds themselves?
Loved the convenience of personalized daily smattering of articles from varied news sources that would have taken greater time and greater effort to source and collate singularly. The feeds from some Library blogs I found at the time threw more professional and Library related material at me and encouraged me to read such than ever before. If this is Web 2.0 then I not only like it but see a usefulness.
Although 80 per day I believe would end my day in tears.

don't think I could live without my RSS feeds now. I rely so much on people blogging about technology. Is this just a sign of our changing times??
