One in 10 Weblog Readers Personalizes Content with RSS Feeds

August 15th, 2005

While the number of RSS “readers” is still low (for those who don’t read blogs, I’m sure the number is lower) we shouldn’t dismiss the importance of the technology itself and how we can improve library service with syndication. Sometimes, it’s just as important as what we do on the “backend” than what the patrons actually see. I try not to get boggled down in semantics when teaching about RSS/Syndication. The “ah-hah” moments come when people actaully play with this stuff. We shouldn’t just talk about it. We should show it off and let them play!
