No. 7 - All this technology

This really relates to the previous week, but the incredible growth of technology is creating a demand for information that is forever at our fingertips. This AM on morning television, there was a new phone with a huge internet capacity - your emails, rss feeds, so much is available within a few seconds, virtually anywhere. This is such an amazing time to be in the information profession - there are so many possibilities for information provision in so many formats and systems.

No. 8 - RSS feeds and all that jazz

I finally got the time to check out the RSS feeds. IF I had a lot of time, I could find myself subscribing to many interesting feed. I have limited mine to news, (I did browse the travel ones, but I saw a few listings about accidents etc, and with a trip coming up, I dont need that sort of information.
I can see this service being of huge assistance and vital link for anyone trying to keep abreast of world happenings, anything in any area of life, it is never ending. And the short the time limit you put eg - 1 hour update, the addiction to checking, just in case would be huge. I hate to think what would happen if I subscribed to a 'latest handbag feed' . Anyway, this has been a useful exercise to check how they actually happen.
