It was fun to review the 200 most popular feeds, from those I chose: The Shifted Librarian, Savannah weather, several news services, two moview review feeds and the NYT Book Review.
I also set up a feed from Librarian Avengers. Not among the 200 most popular, but one that Page T. shwed me months ago. I recalled the author's humor, her librarian's desk and lots of cat photos (the latter two on her companion Flickr site.) Looking at current posts, L.A. still seems to be worth feeding from. Clicking on the RSS icon easily added it to my Blogline feed.
However, I don't know that I will go to a website in order to check the outpourings of other websites. Time will tell if I go to Bloglines, I'll link to it on my Blog as a reminder.
One feed that I'm exposed to without much choice is the news put up on my Internet provider's site. I see when I login to the web version of my home e-mail account. On the login screen they flash current "news" with pictures, which I usually notice. Being pretty much NPR monogamous this news feed is how I found out about the Richard Gere and Ballywood star's kissing scandal.
I'd like to have the Internet feed/feeds presented where I will see them while going about daily tasks. I suppose this is accomplished by the client program described in the video, or incorportaing feeds into web browers.
I'd like to be able to create a feed in the window of my blog (or other website.) I'll bet this is possible.
I also need is a source that circumvents my Internet service provdier. I'd like to chuck Comcast for good!
This task reminds me of the Internet Scout project each Friday though it was designed for current awarness. I'd never read it if I didn't get the e-mail, so I guess it feeds me.
