Week 4, Thing 8: RSS feeds and set up your own Bloglines newsreader account

Google Reader was recommended so I thought I'd go with that instead of Bloglines.
But first I looked at the Palinet tutorial about Internet feeds, and now I think I understand them completely.
I decided to go with Google Reader's 'feed bundles' and selected the News option.
So I have subscribed to 6 news feeds.
I liked one idea that the Palinet tutorial mentioned - libraries could use RSS feeds to notify their customers about new items.

Edit: Okay so I have just been reminded that we do use RSS feeds for our new items.
I vaguely remember hearing something about that.
