Thing #3 again
I intended to respond to some of the prompts...and then clicked Publish before I looked back at my open windows.

Though I keep up on current library and literature issues via friends, publications, and favorite websites, RSS will allow me to target my interests and needs, as well as opening up other options for learning. For librarians and teachers who don't read much or do not have literary connections, I think RSS would be ideal for getting fast, applicable reading.

I liked entering search terms in Google Reader's Add a Subscription box. I could revise my search and try things that better matched what I wanted. I also looked for specific author and illustrator blogs. Most of the people I would want to read don't have one!

I'll have to wait to answer whether others should add any of my choices to their feeders.
