One of my presentations from Notes from the 2009 Internet Librarian Conference with Erin Downey Howerton Sneaking the Social Web into Your Library View more presentations from Bobbi Newman. Erin’s slides and blog post I mentioned during the Q&A that you can do all sorts of things with RSS. An audience member asked me if I could include some of that information in my post. Here goes David Rothman’s Favorite RSS Resources and Tools *start here* Explaining RSS Resources to help you choose a feed aggregator Google Reader Tips and Plug-ins RSS-to-Email tools Publishing RSS content on Web Pages Web-Based RSS-to-Web-Page tools Hosted RSS-to-Web-Page Tools Feed mashing and filtering tools and Creating feeds for pages that don’t offer them From Mashable The Ultimate RSS Toolbox – 120+ RSS Resources includes readers rss to email converters feed validators, plugins mixer ping tools directories and tips & hacks.

Subscribe to this blog by email
Anyone who’s reading this blog directly rather than in their rss reader may have noticed a new box appear on the upper right hand side – Subscribe via Email I’m happy to have finally gotten around to offer this option. Teaching patrons and training staff has taught me that there are still a great many people who don’t use an rss reader for whatever reason. So I thought it was time for me to get out of my bubble and provide an option for people who aren’t rss fanatic. Just enter your email address, confirm your subscription and blog posts will be delivered to your email like magic!

You’ve got 30 minutes, how do you use them?
I’ve seen some interesting conversations pop up online lately about FriendFeed vs Twitter, if spending time on Friendfeed killed your blog, (or not) that feedreaders are dead. Here is the thing, most of us don’t have that much time to spend online, networking, learning, creating content, whatever. I remember Helene Blowers talking about taking 15 minutes each day to read blogs, to stay informed. I gave myself 30. There are only so many hours in the day, and so many of them are taken up with other things, so really it doesn’t leave me much time to spend online (we can’t all be Robert Scoble). So sacrifices are made. I know where I spend my 30 each morning. But I want to know where do you spend yours? You’ve got 30 minutes today, only 30 minutes where will you spend it?

What 5 blogs do you think are MUST read?
Here is the deal, my RSS reader, its overwhelmed, I have waaaayyy too many blogs in it. I’ve tried weeding (something I’m known for being good at around the library) and I’m still not down far enough. I think I have a new plan. I’m going to unsubscribe to everything. If its good and worthwhile it will find its way back right? So if you were going to recommend 5 blogs to someone starting a new reader account what would they be?
