Well this was interesting.
I'm up to week 4 of learning 2.0 . This weeks activity was about RSS feeds. It was explained as a way for you to receive info from your favourite blogs without all the searching, there was a nice YouTube video.
Then we were to go and sign up for Bloglines and subscribe to various RSS feeds. Once you sign on you get a confirmation email and once you confirm Bloglines gives you a list of other sites to which you can subscribe to. I ended up subscribing to 12, which included CNN, Dilbert, Wire, Rotten tomatoes and the shifted librarian, through this method.
I then subscribed to the Powerhouse museum - photo of the day site through the search option of Bloglines, the search isn't a keyword search so if you miss spell or have the phrase wrong you will not get any hits.
I joined the Gmail reader several months ago and the difference between the two are interesting. At this point i'm not sure as to which i prefer.

It is interesting to compare sites and applications. There's always something new to try (even if we go back to our old favourites).
keep on discovering.
