RSS blogs give me so many eyes and ears
August 9th, 2004Janet Tokerud on how weblogs and RSS fit into social networking in a post entitled, RSS blogs give me so many eyes and ears:
“What struck me is how great it is to be able to find out about this stuff in a timely manner. I doubt that I would have ever even found this excellent little piece without my RSS reader and all the blogging community and the NYT working together on my behalf.
We are all so busy these days. We rely on our network to clue us into things we should pay attention to. I used to rely on my own browsing efforts and word of mouth from my personal friends. Not any more! I feel so connected and in a way protected. People are looking out for me. People I haven’t met… Thanks.”
And my personal thanks to all those library bloggers out there who have linked to articles, resources, and online tools that I would not have seen if it weren’t for weblogs and RSS.
