News? What news? I can't keep up with any news and I visit very few websites regularly so it was hard for me to come up with some news I would care about keeping up with. So, I just picked a couple things I'm interested in (pro baseball, college softball, parenting, and Library 2.0 of course) and started adding feeds.
Google Reader seemed the likely suspect as my aggregator account since I already used Google for email and to create my blog. I had also used it as a blog search tool. Hello Google World! Anyway, it was very easy to either click the RSS icon on some of the websites or "add a subscription" to my Google Reader by copying the site's URL. So, I'd say news feeds are pretty easy to set up.
I guess I am happy that I have "centrally located" all of the news I want to know about, but I will still need the time to read it all! I guess it couldn't hurt to do a quick check on the news I care about each day from one place (only 5 minutes, though ;). I think it would be a useful tool for busy librarians who are interested in a quick way to learn anything new about web technology, new books, collection management, and even library building structure!
