Bloglines

OK, I reluctantly admit that my bloglines account may prove to be of some value. As I search for content to put into my upcoming "official" library blog that will be linked to on the business pages, I realize now that all I have to do is point my bloglines dog at various business news ducks (NYT small business page, Seattle Times business news, etc., etc.). Then I can just quickly scan the headlines from the past few days and pull content that I might want to comment on.

The downside of this hyperfocused feed is that it reduces browsing and catching news items of interest that now will fall by the wayside. On the political front, I cringe when I think of the millions of people who sign up for newsfeeds that reflect only their narrow worldview and subsequently convince themselves that the majority of the world agrees with them...
