Thing#2:RSS

Okay,
So I signed up for the RSS on Google Reader. I also subscribed, so far, to some news feeds.
I 'm not too sure about this. I see how it can become addictive (I spent too much time looking at what's happening in the world - do I really WANT to know?)

I can see how it could be useful when following certain stories, keeping in touch with family and friends during both crises and happy times - sharing information and such. My problem is how much time can be taken out of my life just to know what is happening, unless I have a real reason to be looking for stuff.

In my Library life I can see using this to help keep up with trends and such. In my personal life, not so much. Of course, I'm just beginning and there's sure to be more to it than the little I've experienced so far. While I've not found anything to share YET, I will probably browse more and add subscriptions when there is something interesting - at least for a while.

Well, now it's time for a catnap - Meow . . .purrrrrr
