RSS Feeds seem like a novel idea, although I find it difficult right now to wade through the waters, so to speak. There are so many that I have subscribed to, that it seems impossible to scan them all through for new updates. I am enjoying keeping the sites in one place, and I am sure the updates are a great thing, but who has the time? I see how they can be useful for education if working on a project, and keeping track of updates. I also see how the updates of information would be useful for us to keep track of who has updated their blogs.
RSS is very cool, and Alan November spoke of these RSS feeds at last year's Christa McAuliffe(you can watch the 2007 presenters talks - Will Richardson was one speaker at the 2007 conference), as the information that comes to you and you do not have to do anything! I think that is AWESOME, and I do plan on figuring it out when I can sort through it all and make sense of it. I have starred some items, I am not sure what I am doing with them. I also tried to start organizing the RSS feeds into folders so there is some method to my madness! Not so sure about that!
I have a lot of them, I can tell you that right now.. thousands of updates and I am letting them grow by the minute, without doing anything!
Once I can get my head around them, I am sure they are going to be another part of my daily ritual. I can say Twitter is becoming more of a daily ritual too..

The read/write web. You've got to love it. Thanks so much for the great link http://weblogg-ed.com/ posted off of the McLaughlin site. There is alot of great technical information there. Feeds, I'm addicted, just wait until you see my next post. Widgets, and feeds, the total bomb! And yes, I am spending way to much time having fun with all these new tools. :))
