RSS Feeds and Delicious were two things I have heard about often, but never really tried myself. Mostly I haven't tried them because I didn't understand what they were or how they would help me.
After trying them out, RSS Feeds are still a little overwhelming for me. I mean, it is great to have everything in one place, but it almost seems like too much in one place. Do I really need to follow more blogs than I already do? But it will be nice to check one place for updates instead of daily or multiple times a day checking every blog.
I think I will personally start using Delicious personally to bookmark articles I see at work and want to read at home. It would also be useful as a place to bookmark homework helping sites for kids at the library. It would be easy to update and change. You could add sites for specific assignments rather easily. This is something I would like to look into in the fall.
I totally agree with you Nora about the RSS feeds. It's great to have consolidation, but at the same time, it can be information overload.
ReplyDeleteNow I absolutely LOVE Delicious at work we created pages specifically for Science and History Fair sites. It's such a time and memory saver!
