Week 4 Blogger and RSS Feeds

Well here I am back again after a long break.
Delay- Why the gap. To be honest, besides the workload recently and the library here having to set up computers for us to access most of the sites linked to for this course (that's another story); it was mainly because the idea of what to say about RSS feeds daunted me because I don't have much to say about them because I'm pretty much non-plussed about the whole thing.
Negative I know, but honest. Following is why-
Distortion- While I had no trouble understanding the concept of or joining 'Bloglines', I do find it disconcerting that instead of it coming up on the top of my Firefox browser, or emailed to me each day like a digest of a newsgroup, you actually have to go to this particular website, log in, and then see the RSS feeds from the sites you have selected. I suppose it is the idea of checking most sights only occasionally, like Youtube for example, that I really get something out of, as if I want to go to bloglines each time to check if a feed has been added. I'm sure there is a way of them coming more directly to you, but this exercise didn't explain how.
Chorus- The sites I linked to are
1. City of Canterbury: Library Events
2. Gilmourish. Comments on the Early Years.
3. Librarians Internet Index: New this Week
4. Powerhouse Museum: Photo of the Day
5. Bloglines: News
6.PVRBlog
7. (Just added) Big Brother: Message List- Big Mouth.
Reverb- I searched sites I knew already had RSS Feeds like our libraries site and the Gilmourish site under the blogs there. I also looked through the courses recommended sites and recently seacrched for forums on the tv show Big brother.
For my job it would be great if other aged and disability librarians had a forum and I could get updates from there. But usually for my work I'd search google for websites rather than trying to link up to feeds from blogs or the like.
