Google Reader

I'm really liking Google Reader. I added Stephen Abrams blog. Maybe most of you read this already but I would always forget to go look at it even though I have shortcut to it. He seems to always have some interesting comments and insights. Two recent ones are http://stephenslighthouse.sirsidynix.com/archives/2008/08/ala_banned_book.html and http://stephenslighthouse.sirsidynix.com/archives/2008/08/librarian_ident.html. The fist one asks why not a Banned Website Week like Banned Book Week. The second one is his article for SLA's Information Outlook. It fits with our Library 2.0 Challenge pretty well.

I did find out that blogs that have a discussion going or maybe keep a thread for a month then close it don't work too well with an RSS feed. My Marcusblog is like this. I assume that when it changes threads or when Sept. comes I'll get notice of new postings but right now I don't. I can at least click on the last posting though to see what's new.
