RSS Continued....
So I am now thoroughly tapped into the whole RSS blog thing. I have found that there is entirely more news and info out there than I could possibly ever even dream of wanting. For my meagre needs I found that the most simple and easy search was through google's blog search. With ithat I was able to narrow down what kind of blogs would interest me. I found some cool book collecting websites with upadated info that I wasn't aware of, and a couple of couple links to the library of congress. However I also found as I went through alot of the blog search engines that there were plenty of blogs that were really old and they were often times the ones I thought would be cool. Now the question begs to asked is what finally happens to some of those old blogs that no one wants to look at anymore, or do they go into a special digital archive for the historians of the future? What I see our library doing with RSS feeds is allow patrons to have up to date news information from a variety of sources made available on the PALS. Maybe limit them only to news organizations like CNN, or something that way they dont get out of hand. Or let them create their own accounts with their FVRL account with RSS feeds saved directly there.
