RSS Feeds
I have set up my home computer to use iGoogle as my home page. To this I have added Google Reader where I can catch up on the day's headlines. What I liked about this, in particular, is that I could choose where I would get these headlines. When you log onto a MSN homepage, or some such, you at their mercy for headlines. With Google Reader, I could choose which news service to use.
I also added the AACPL Exploration blog and several of my colleague's blogs. I liked being able to see their updates without having to go hunt for them.
I am looking forward to RSS feeds being available through the Aquabrowser. I am hoping this will be an easy way to know when my favorite authors are coming out with new books.
I intend to continue to explore this particular aspect of Web 2.0. So far, I find this to be the most useful.
