After having a go at RSS feeds I actually feel a lot better with blogging. I am a total skeptic regarding blogs but I think that's more to do with the fact that I don't have a lot to say rather than being against blogs in general. I know a number of my colleagues use RSS feeds to keep up to date in their field of work etc. I think I will do some digging and find some feeds that are appropriate for my work and see how I go.
I noticed on the discussion boards that people were saying they don't know how they will keep up with their RSS feeds along with their Twitter, Facebook etc. I was once told that these Web 2.0 tools are akin to meeting with friends in the staffroom at 10am everyday. If you are able to be there you hear all the latest gossip and goings on, but do you miss it if you can't make it? Treat your Twitter, RSS Feed etc the same way, you don't need to read or comment on everything. If you miss a few days it won't matter.
I really liked the idea of 'citizen journalism' and keeping the media honest, I think we could do with more of that. Cheers for now.
