One of my favorite, favorite things is newsreaders. My daughter was the first to introduce me to this beloved tool on one of her visits home from college, and it opened a whole new world of blogs. I love that I can go to one place and read new posts from my favorite blogs or sites just like reading email. I probably subscribe to too many because I cannot get to them all in one sitting. The best part, however, is being able to organize the feeds into different folders according to various topics. I can easily access information based on my moods or needs.
Professionally the newsreaders can help teachers, librarians, and administrators stay current on the literature of their fields in a manageable manner. Colleagues can also share what they find or read with one another.
Through the tutorial, I did learn about features that I did not know about. I can't wait to use the keyboard shortcuts and Google Blog Search to find library/technology related sites/blogs.
